I thought it was well known that YouTube cut bitrates during the pandemic? In any case, I think you're quite right, I only watch YouTube in 720p and some videos seem comparable to stuff I downloaded from Kazaa back in the day. It's ok, though. I don't pay for YouTube and I think it's good for them to offer higher quality options for a charge rather than hound every single viewer for payment.
