> "You don't need to film in 4K if you don't have a 4K screen!"

Besides the obvious fact that one might own a 4K screen in future, 4K (2160p) looks better than Full HD (1080p) on a 1600×900 "HD+" screen! It looks pure and clear thanks to higher bitrate and chroma subsampling.

What? You didn't know almost all consumer video cameras, including smartphones, record with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, meaning 1080p video only has 540p of colour information? It has 1080p of luminance, but not 1080p of colour.

    @iiii 2011 has called. It wants its 1080p videos back. It's 2023 now.

    Tell us more about those pees of color. I used to watch YouTube in 4K in my 1080p screen and it did look much better, then they crippled up even the 1080p and put a paywall on 4K. I've been on trial of Premium and am considering subscribing because I can't stand low-quality video. Motherfuckers.

    @iiii Obviously not true. Will you keep commenting like a broken record?

    @nururururu 4K 2160p is still available to me for free. Might be the usual A/B testing that Google does. But YouTube providing free 4K for many years is actually quite generous.

    @exerceo YouTube only hosts the website. Most of the effort (plot creation, filming, cutting, etc.) is done by the content creators for free. YouTube will give them some share of their ad revenue afterwards, if the video was successful.

    @exerceo it is true, and no one cares about your first world problems and your issues with consumerism and inability to live life to such an extent that you need a literal artificial window with infinite precision to compensate for having no life

    @iiii No matter how trivial a problem appears to be, many trivial problems put together form a major annoyance, so even seemingly trivial problems must be eliminated.

    @iiii Yes, you do care.

    Otherwise you would have scrolled along instead of clicking on this post and writing a comment on it. 😉
