I feel like this has been happening for a while, but maybe it's just that YouTube's website is shite.

I can't tell an honest difference between 1080p and 720p from across a room. On a monitor, sure, but I grew up in the 90's. Anything 480 and above is tolerable to me.

I'm pirating it, should I demand my money back for poor service? Lmao

No longer working for me on Firefox, Win11. Now what?

[–] leckiesock@lemmy.world -5 points 21 hours ago

I have no answer. I’m almost 40 and could no longer care less about BabyTube. I’m now more interested in life and travelling. Long gone are the days where YT was interesting.
