If YouTube suddenly said you need a premium account to view videos in a quality higher than 480p...

People finally switch to superior vimeo

vimeo is for obnoxious artfags

I hope you're using a 4k monitor for productivity. Anything less than 3.8 x 2.1 is nigger tier.

do things like mpv still work?
if so then nope I would just wait half an hour to download it. if no then I would just say fuck it and leave.

I would just watch everything in 480p

I already pay for YouTube Premium, formally Red. But if I wasn't, 480p isn't THAT bad. It's probably the lowest resolution I'd comfortably go.

>16:9 for productivity
no user you are the nigger

I'd upload to youtube in 480p and 1080p version to vimeo.

I forked out for it so I can use the play in background feature on me phone

I’d still use a downloader to get the HD version.

YouTube would die pretty quickly

lmao what a retard

guilty

i woldn't care because humans can't see above 240p.

/thread

>implying anything on youtube is worth paying for

No. 480 is usually enough for me.

Still though, why the fuck no 576 support yet?

Who the fuck cares about the quality of Youtube videos? What are you watching on Youtube that's such high art that you need it in 4K HDR?

Literally these

Nah.

I wouldn't care because humans can't see at more than 1p at exactly 1fps per eye which is 2fps total.

>leave

what would be the point? I use Adblock, don’t and won’t pay for that cancerous website/give google money thus i may as well allow myself to visit it when I want to just as before. 480p isn’t bad anyway

why do I need to see shitty vlogs in high definition?

Upscale using mpv.

I would never pay youtube for anything , I still get a little angry just uploading videos because I'm doing it for free instead of for pennies like I was doing it for before they changed. Now I have to beg people to subscribe , something I didn't care about before , and they don't subscribe vs my views , making me hate youtube even more.
I will never pay for youtube anything.

I'd watch it as usual on my CRT, now with bonus scanlines.

would it be confusing if admit all three answers would be correct? i wouldn't like it, i'd tolerate it, at some point i'd take a trial to get it back, and then probably cancel it and move on to somewhere else. even porn sites let you stream 1080p and download videos for free.

i'm not sure if this would ever happen tho. the amount of money spent on leased internet lines isn't worth it if they're not running at full capacity, and they'd be shooting themselves in the foot by turning back the clock 12 years on all of the developed nations that can already watch their already garbage bit-starved 4k videos in fullscreen native resolution, and are smart enough to consider consumer's choice.

I'd just move to NicoNico at that point.

When YouTube has content outside of some autistic faggot cutting shit with a hot knife or dropping a hot metal ball into things I might care.

I pay $20 for YouTube Premium per month and $40 for YouTube TV. I also pay $2 per month for 200GB storage and universal Google support for all apps through Google One. Lastly, I pay $20 per month for using Linux on Google Cloud. I may have that upped to $ 100 per month. For now, I am paying Google $82 per month.

YouTube Premium give you more that just access to exclusive videos. It is nothing like YouTube Red. You are given access to movies, music, better UI features, etc. They improve membership quality on a regular basis. I say it is worth it.

>in this thread, discussing 4K as if 5K does not exist
5K monitors are great
>no discussion of OLED

>5K monitors are great
>doesn't scale to 1080p
>doesn't scale to 720p
Miss me with that blur.

i dont go higher than 720p anyways because i dont full screen

Hard mode: sound limited to 16kbps aac

youtube was better when everything was 480p and below

>have to log into my google account to watch videos
eww

I watch everything in 360p, so it wouldn't bother me

There is no content out there (ever) that demands anything over 480p

This. The only time I ever used 1080p or 4K quality was to test my internet speed and/or GPU.

I normally watch my videos below 480 pi because i’d rather have my videos load faster
High pixel density video streaming is literally bandwidth bloat

>viewing videos in a quality higher than 480p
who even does that

Nothing on youtube is worth paying for as is so no.

wouldn't bother me :)

You don't deserve to live.

>this guy never used a 40" 4K monitor
You have no idea how much usable space that actually feels like in practice.

>24" 1200p
>27" 1440p
>30" 1600p
>32" 1440/2160p
I've used/owned all of these and they all feel cramped in comparison.

I'm fine with 480p. Don't watch full screen and usually just listen to most things. Anything with "High Quality" or "HD" in the title I've found usually looks and sounds worst that stuff than doesn't. It likes these retards can't even use the most basic encoder settings to raise the bitrate higher than 2Mbps. Even some of the videos uploaded by official channels is of garbage quality, they must get monkeys to do it.

I'd be happy! I'm constantly switching to 480p to save up on monthly internet. I'm actually annoyed that they force 1080p on us

None of the things you listed is worth its price.

i don't watch youtube so i guess i'd just not care

Leave. Hell, if I had the time I'd make a website to mirror YouTube videos in higher resolutions and put ads. YouTube requiring premium would surely encourage tons of people to look for alternatives, creating massive demand out of nowhere, and current youtube model proves people would rather watch ads than pay up front.

>would you fork over the cash for it
No.

No. Most of the time I'm just using youtube vids for background noise and not actually watching them anyway so the quality isn't typically a dealbreaker.

I literally only watch youtube for asmr videos

I've also got a bunch of videos of my dead cat I uploaded just to keep them safe and available in case my HDD's died on me.

For the most part I don't think I'd notice, but I would definitely start using a different service. I hope they do it, desu

I would pay anything, if it doesn't work I'll watch videos somewhere else. Alphabet makes enough money to support youtube, they should continue because its the only reason anyone puts up with them anymore, everything else they do is detrimental, unnecessary, or has better alternatives like Bing is a better search engine than Google.

>would
Wouldn't aka would not pay. Typos...

I finally got a good enough internet connection to stream hd

this is a fucking meme. if anything it increases distractions and losing context on the current activity.

Immediately leave.

absolute nonsense. 98% would just take it and watch in lowres
