I've got 500Mb fiber internet and YouTube refuses to stream above 360p unless i manually change it. Which each update becomes harder and harder to do as they hide the video quality button somewhere else.

That's a relief. I've been dreading the day when they introduce server-side adsm but it seems we're not there yet 😅 I'm not sure what they think they'll accomplish with this when it's A LOT less painful than turning off your adblocker and dealing with the ads, though. Maybe they're just trying random things to see what works.

Is google’s company motto still ‘Don’t be evil’?

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

Oh no! What will I—Video Downloader. I'll just watch offline at my leisure.

I’m curious what people would prefer for revenue generation models. Just subscription fees? A lot of folks also seem resistant to that as well.

Direct sponsoring has worked in the past with many open source projects (including lemmy.world). Could be closer to what Patreon does.
