Considering 4k screens will only become more popular as the screens on pretty much everything progress foward this feels hilariously shortsighted. Also the optics of it are terrible, any customer that ever even considers resolution at any point of their app usage will feel burnt by this new gate put in front of them. Resolution was not a "premium" feature yesterday or 5 years before then, and the framing of premium implies that it's features should be "icing on the cake" of the base service, so to speak. This is just artificial and stupid. All this does is reopen old wounds about the lack of background playback. What a terrible move for a platform that already has subterranean PR and is merely "tolerated" by most of its end users. Why not just put a a full width banner at the top of the website calling anyone with the gall not to pay for premium a second class citizen? They're gonna pitch a shit fit anyway, might as well hasten the process.
