Ok, this wasn't clear to me. Perhaps it was a video with too few views and thus not considered worth spending storage on? I mean, popular videos on youtube have up to 4K and pretty high bitrate.


It has 2.6 million views.

But the source was 720p, and youtube's bandwidth tiers are tied directly to resolution and most of them are stingy.


seems more like gog/yt shifted bitrate/resolution downwards because pleps demand 4k, and now the "High Definition" version that was good enough for cinemas looks like crap.
