This is the most drek response I've ever seen. If I switch it back to 720/1080, There. Is. No. Issue. No app crashes, no stalling out buffering, it works fine

No app crashes, no stalling out buffering, it works fine, just like last month, just like last year, and the year before that.
But now video starts in "potato quality" and nessecitates button mashing to get back to being watchable.
- londons_explore 5y agoThere are parts of this system you can't see... Imagine the connection from your ISP to youtube is 1 Gbit. Thats 200 HD AV1 streams, or 100 MP4 streams, or 1000 Low quality streams. If your device only supports MP4, then by you selecting HD, 5 other people have to watch in SD. Youtube autoselects the quality to maximize overall enjoyment, but lets individuals override it. But by overriding it, you probably hurt other viewers experience (they will get auto-defaulted to lower quality).
