    This has been a thing for a while now, hasn’t it? I remember trying to watch the Noseferatu trailer a few months ago and seeing how shit it looked. Tried to up the quality only to see that it was paywalled

      trailer

      I mean, that’s an advertisement. I feel like if you’re going to watch an ad, that the company trying to sell the product should find a way to have the ad in full quality themselves.

      It looks like the official website does use YouTube, though.

      At least according to YouTube, the enhanced bitrate option is higher than 1080p normal has ever been

        But what about the new normal 1080p? Has it been reduced?

            It’s obviously noticeable from the ones they don’t pull this shit on.

          Personal experience, but I feel like it has. Especially on videos with a lot of still frames like 3blue1brown, you can see the still images become slightly better quality after all the animations stopped. I noticed a few months ago and saw 1080p premium as an option.

      I’ve just seen it for the first time now. Might be because I’m situated in Europe? Or because I mostly don’t give a damn about the pixel count.
