I am sure these ideas have been thrown around at YouTube, but maybe a better alternative would be limiting videos to only 720p resolution for non-premium users, for example.
There is a reason no other competitor has emerged. Not even Netflix offers 1080p on their basic _paid_ plan, which I recall being limited to 720p.

This is basically Premium Lite, which YouTube axed last year: https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/25/23889917/youtube-premium-lite-subscription-discontinued-retired https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/25/23889917/youtube-premium-...
- conradfr 3y agoI've seen videos where the top quality is only for premium. 720p videos on Youtube don't look great these days so maybe your idea would work ;) But if Youtube want to reduce costs maybe stop insisting on autoplay.
