Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads''

I think they’re going hard on the video quality front. Huge channels post videos that are “1080p Premium Bitrate” at max for premium subscribers. Feel like they used to post 4K.

4k and high bitrate 1080p are actually the same thing.

How did marketing let engineering NOT name it 4k?!? I’m pretty serious actually

It’s complicated. Essentially, YT spends 24 hours a day trying to dodge the fallout of stupid decisions taken during the previous 24 hours, ad infinitum. They were bashed for certain decisions related to 4k video (which used to be called 4k, then changed to 2160p, then back to 4k, then back to 2160p), leading to the current name scheme.
