Yes, that’s true, the service itself is rather reliable and stable, but that doesn’t really necessitate the low bitrate on 1080p and lower. The resolution itself has often less of an impact on the perceived quality than the bitrate. Especially on mobile
That’s also one of the more important things to know about digital photography. Higher resolution does not equal better quality. A lot of digital formats are defined by more than one key figure.
Since I almost always on VPN, I sometimes go even lower, most long vids and podcasts I play through NewPipe without video at all. The only thing where 1:1 resolution match with the uploader matters for me is tutorials on software usage and coding, where I need to see interface and text clearly. 720p sits neatly between these two, but I am a man of extremes.
On YouTube it’s most definitely not. The quality is shit thanks to their compression.
Yeah it’s not the best. But it never stutters, I can change cell towers on a train, WiFi in the garden, whatever, it’s done

That’s very interesting! I have just come to this opinion through trial and error o~0

Clever.

Too low of a bitrate mostly. But they adjust it depending on the content, so it can be different per video
