Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish

honestly at this point I don’t even understand using the normal youtube front end anymore. I have been using piped as my youtube app on my phone for a while, and I think it’s time I switch frontends. What sucks is video is one of the few things we don’t have a decent way of federating right now just due to the sheer volume of disk space required.

We could if we lowered our standard. 480p is better than nothing.

That was years ago when 360p was a acceptable resolution. It’s 2023, we have 8K TVs, 4K display phones. Literally noone would want to watch a 360p video these days.

Instagram, Tik Tok etc. manage to get away with very low resolutions because they mainly target phone screens, which are like 3" across regardless of resolution, pitch size is tiny anyway.
I’m just saying, if the goal is to host video content, we can. If the goal is to host video that looks pretty good luck with that. 😃

Then 720P videos with compression might do the job as a starting point

Yes but thats not really an option this time.
Back then monitors where more primitive and mobile wasnt even a platform back then, not even mentioning broadband internet speeds compared to what we have today as standard.
360 looks worse in modern day devices than in ancient cubic monitors.
