while playing the lower resolution (so as not to interrupt the video)
That is another thing, which I don’t mind (if I understand it right). Sometimes internet becomes worse temporarily and that approach is okay.
But in the described case it plays a whole video in this hypothetical “mode”, never trying to go up. My internet is not greatest, but when I switch from “720p (Auto)” to “720p” it takes only a couple of seconds to then play it without any further interruptions. It doesn’t add up. I believe they are simply saving traffic on those who look at the quality setting and either think “well, maybe it’s just shitty bitrate 720/1080p” or have no clue at all.
- dns_snek 3y agoRock solid 300/100 Mbps here, I've noticed the same behavior. It's either intentional or buggy and given how long it's been going on now, I don't think it's buggy. Don't let people convince you it's your internet connection.
