There is a counter strike / Gaming youtuber called 3kliksphilip


This guy has has been making 4k 60 videos since 2017 if I’m not wrong and thats almost 10 years ago

For another example is LTT and his other channels. They were making 4k30 videos since 2013/14 i think

Now why I’m mentioning this?

Because YouTube Recently started lowering bitrates of 1080p video (even those watching with premium bitrate selected). So every 1080p video uploaded now is significantly compressed to save storage and bandwidth costs

The same doesnt apply on 1440p and 4k videos especially, 4k hands down gets the least compression blockiness
And this remains true even for 4k videos uploaded 10 years ago

Now why I’m angry is because YouTubers and other creators online had a thing for calling 4k as not worth it. Especially in late 2010s and Early 2020s and fuckers stopped doing this now.

By comparing 1080p to 4k and saying well who needs 4k? Lol

Listening to this crap i exported 4k videos into a 1080p res and youtube introduced significant compression on those in the long run.
Jeez so much for not thinking about the future well

I have a 75 inch TCL MiniLED TV at home, it supports dolby vision and the HDR performance is amazing on netflix, Apple TV and prime video. Doesn't hurt my eyes.
YT and JioHotstar crushes all details and brightness goes to 100%. Super annoying.

Another thing is HDR video needs to be mastered for specific nit value

By default HDR videos shot on iPhones use 1000nits and people upload it as it as on instagram

Hence the flashbang
