All that would do from their perspective is save them additional bandwidth if you're not making them money by watching ads. I'm sure they'd rather you didn't watch and consume the product for free.

An example since the pandemic, a "pint" of Hagen Dazs ice cream is no longer a pint (16oz). They are now 14oz. Same with most other brands that come in that size container. Halloween candy also got pretty microscopic. The "bi
