You do this for every casual video you watch?

  Thats sound too exhaustive to watch a 3 min video

  Oh no. Tech conference talks, (potentially) deep podcast episodes, lecture videos of a topic I am learning, 45 minutes Chopin prelude "jukebox", etc. Anything that I think could be very interesting or I had preplanned- beyond 15 minutes- is what I do it for. My internet connection is very good. But the battery consumption is too high when streaming 1080p/2k. I have became a quality snob now and cannot watch lower resolution videos when there are higher ones available. I also want to avoid ads (I support indie-type YouTubes by buying Patreon subscription and merches, too, if they are innovative). I hate the too-shiny YT interface, too. I now just watch 1080p/2k videos in peace from VLC with my wifi/data turned off.
