    Has anyone noticed YouTube’s video compression has become much worse lately?

    I tried watching a video I’ve seen before and I felt like I stepped back into 2007 again. That same video wasn’t like that last year.

        Netflix definitely increased 1080p compression (or said better, nerfed it). 1080p even looks a little pixelated on my mobile phone now when it looked great on a PC monitor a few years ago.

      Yes. Auto is essentially the “720p or less but we’re gonna lie and say it’s 1080p still” option now. I’m constantly having to manually choose my resolution to get the full bitrate.
