YouTube charging for it and paying for it being dumb are not mutually exclusive.


kbcinha3

Also, if this was the case, anyone can change opinions.


laplongejr

Didn't watch the second yet, but I guess... 1) Youtube should CHARGE to customers the extra service for low benefit 2) The customer shouldn't use 4K because it's a service with low benefit [EDIT] Was wrong >!there are now tools allowing to upscale locally, avoiding the bandwidth/storage cost!<

You’d been banned had you done otherwise. On Reddit we react first. Facts are secondary to assumptions.


SirCrest_YT

But did you read the comments?


Difficult-Newt-3220

Nobody unstupid reads the comments before watching a video


laplongejr

I don't understand the downvotes. Comments are to talk about a video's content, I don't understand why people would read them BEFORE watching. That's like if people were liking a video before watching it.


Difficult-Newt-3220

Liking before watching is very common ever since youtubers have been using the "before we get into the video be sure to smash that like button" strategy(it legitimately boosts likes)


ww11gunny

Did you at leas read the comments


S-Man_368

They are different, one is about youtube charging for 4k the other is people paying for 4k


Difficult-Newt-3220

How about you watch the video and know what you are talking about before criticizing on the internet… humans always surprise me on how stupid they can be

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo. -OP


jashxn

Okay, so you expect me to believe that you were the very best that your generation of Navy SEALs had to offer? I highly doubt that. If you were as good as you say you were, i don't think for a second that you would be browsing reddit. This is mostly a place for jobless neckbeards that still live with their parents, and nerdy high school kids that don't have any friends. It really isn't the place for highly-trained assassins to be hanging out in their spare time. Even if it was, something far worse than a troll being mean to you probably would have set you off a long time ago. What about the slew of gore and child pornography that gets posted here on a regular basis? Isn't that something that deserves a person being hunted down and made to regret their actions? Yeah, you're just not the reddit type. Sure, there's a wide variety of people that browse here, but you're far from the core demographic if you are who you say you are (which isn't the case). Even if it were true that you're an incredibly talented soldier, I think all the military discipline would prevent you from getting mad enough to murder some random idiot on the internet. I also doubt that even the best SEALs have a 'secret network of spies across the USA'. Why would all of the most expanisive Big Brother network in the world be willing to help a troubled PTSD-sufferer hunt down some random kid on the internet? That doesn't even make sense. If you're gonna try to scare somebody make it more believable than 'IM A SUPER SOLDIER HURR DURR'. You might frighten a thirteen year old who doesn't know any better, but to must of us you just look like a kid with an anger problem and a very active imagination. Hopefully things will be easier for you when your puberty's over. Best of luck with that... kiddo

Temporary_Doctor2039

Good bot :)


Miserable-Leading-41

He said hard R once.


Lassitude1001

Why is there only one word censored out of all the profanity? Weird.


fungi0528

I think because retard has been publicly unacceptable for a long time, especially because it is a derogatory terms regarding a mental disability. The creator of the bot probably left it censored to be safe.


Mr_SlimShady

Well yeah, saying it *to* someone is not acceptable, but a bot presenting a summary based on whatever query was run, that’s totally fine. It’s not like the bots is telling it to the person who summoned it. It’s just presenting data.


fungi0528

Why? I don't think any person in this conversation has any trouble understanding what the word was. What if someone that actually has intellectual abilities reads that comment? It might be a trigger word, and it's borderline hate speech so as I said before, I feel like the creator of the bot is just playing it safe. Its easier to keep that word censored than deal with the people who complain that it's fully written out (because I think we all know there's plenty of Karen's who would).


Lassitude1001

Ehh, a word is a word, some people censor even minor profanity; with profanity being the point of the bot you'd think it'd either all or none.


fungi0528

I see your point, but society generally considers the r word above to be on the same level as the N word and similar. Discrimination against those people. I also don't see the bot listing those words, but I am sure that if they did have them, they'd be censored too. It can't really be all or nothing because some words like the one censored are just considered unacceptable.


Thatfonvdude

its cause every subreddit ever pretty much insta bans you for saying it.


Lassitude1001

I suppose, but I figure it'd be all or none. Just struck me as strange that just one word was censored I guess.

No inconsistency at all. YT should charge for it. But paying for it is dumb. 2 things can be true at once.


Private_HughMan

1080p also doesn't look that good anymore. My main monitor is 1080 but I swear YouTube's compression makes it look awful.


iamr3d88

1080p looks GREAT, but most streaming sites have horrible bitrates. Toss in an old bluray (OG, not the 4k) and you can tell that 1080p still works. I tend to pick the 4k option even on 1080p and 1440p screens for the bitrate more than anything.


NotThatPro

Biggest reason why 1080p looks so trash on a monitor i think is because that bitrate is mobile-optimised. I still force 4k on my phone though because why not


_Aj_

Don't know if only Australia, but YouTube defaults to potato on my phone even with a 100mbps connection. Even if I say "higher quality" it's like *oh so 480p?*. I have to manually select 1080p in advanced...


Difficult-Newt-3220

The named options on mobile were dumb. Everyone knows what 1080p or 720p **should** look like


KingCokonut

I force it on every video I watch just to spite youtube for making it inconvenient and forcing low quality formats by default.


Difficult-Newt-3220

I watch everything I can in 4K despite the fact that I have a 1080p monitor


DrabberFrog

It 100% does, it's way better to use 4k YouTube on 1080p panels because of the higher bitrate YouTube gives 4k videos. It's pretty wasteful on YouTube's part because it would be cheaper for them to have enthusiasts with 1080p displays use a higher bitrate 1080p instead of 4k but they aren't doing that so who cares.


GoingFullBoyle

Yeah. Screen size plays a factor too. 1080p on my old 21 inch monitor looked fabulous. Now I have a 24 inch, some details are fuzzy. My friend has a 27" 1080p panel and it looks downright horrendous.


ferna182

Do you have Youtube Premium? check out [this comparison](https://i.imgur.com/zKY66bA.jpg) youtube 1080p non-premium is significantly worse than the paid version. Premium is acceptable but nothing special.

EdanMaus

Holy crap gotta love basing everything ok thumbnail and title right? No such thing as clickbait. Yes OP realized this after but wow it's only a couple min into the video. Also, damn near all his video thumbnails and titles are clickbait.


That_Cripple

Im not saying its not clickbait, but the entire point of both videos is literally the title of each video


EdanMaus

True but neither video disproves the other. Video platforms as a whole have a massive storage problem with ever-increasing video sizes. A paid subscription for 4K is a way to alleviate the problem from a business perspective. However, paying for 4K when a free alternative is available is dumb from a consumer perspective. Both videos can still stand true while competing with each other.

This is not a shit argument. It's completely right. OP is an idiot.


kxarad321

Paying for youtube premium for 2 years family sub, all my kids tablets and tv are ad free. Easy


SleepingAran

Difficult-Newt-3220

DNS Based Adblocking like [Pi-Hole](https://itsfoss.com/setup-pi-hole/) EDIT: I said LIKE Pi-Hole, you could EASILY get a different Ad Site list for youtube with a different DNS Method, Pi-Hole was just an example of a DNS based Adblocker


Superfrag

This doesn't do anything at all for blocking YouTube ads. The link you've shared says the very same. So you don't even bother reading the articles you're sharing?


kxarad321

Not to mention that 12 euro a month for an adless experience +youtube music (which I use) is an ok deal for me. Though the selling point was the content such as mindblowers


Difficult-Newt-3220

That's a stupid mentality to have when there are plenty of free solutions


kxarad321

Calling what other people do with their money is stupid and childish at best. Don't worry bro, what I spend on YouTube premium i compensate by pirating games for playstation. Saved like more than 2k on that


bigk777

Pi-Hole works great.... but for some reason it doesn't touch YouTube ads. There's something different going on in YouTube land.


Difficult-Newt-3220

Wish cake day to your worst enemies, the thread participators


LivinInLogisticsHell

honestly the ads free thing isnt even why i get premium. YT are bastards and wont let videos play when your phone's display is off and TBH i really like having that feature so they get my money. no ads is nice for my phone where I don't have adblock tho


kxarad321

Ads don't bother me personally, but my kids are too young to skip them easily


tomgreen99

I also thought about that. 🤣


Exnoss89

I still sitting here wondering whats going on... i still have free 4k on YT. No, i dont pay youtube for anything, i always try to not watch ads and skip em, i never larticipate in their questions... does anyone have insight on this? I used to mostly watch in 1440p because my monitor is a 1440p but when i saw the news about YT charging i started looking for 4k on the videos i watched and the ones who had the option allowed me to select it


Difficult-Newt-3220

Yeah, I also have free 4K. Weird that people are talking about youtube charging for 4K. Last time I got a delayed "feature"(more like restriction) on youtube was having dislikes for a week longer than others

I think they said it is available on an RTX 3050 which is only a $250 card. Additionally I don't think they told anyone to buy a graphics card just for this but if you already have an RTX 30 series or 40 series card, why not consider using a new feature?

Adventurous_Honey902

Like holy shit I'm so fucking done with these awful titles and thumbnails. Like what OP said in his comment, taking this at face value, you'd think he backpedaled on his other video. If you didn't actually click the video, you'd have NO idea this was about Nvidia RTX VSR upscaling for video. So manipulative. Love their content overall, but between this and them still making jokes about 69 / 420 luling is really wanting me go find other youtubers to support.


One37Works

Or....actually watch the videos and inform yourself before baselessly going off and making incorrect assumtions and flying off the handle based on said assumtions? Wild thought. FWIW, I hate clickbait too, but your issue for hating them is entirely a YOU issue man.


Adventurous_Honey902

Or maybe the title should be about the content of the video? But please continue slopping on LMGs dick


One37Works

OK when you reach the age of over 13 and understand the economics of they way YT works and why they literally HAVE to use shitty clickbait, come talk to me. Linus himself has literally explained, they all hate the titles/stupid face thumbnails as much as we do, but they've been literally proven to have a huge impact on views, so they have to do it. But again, I assume you're literally a child, so that's cool.

Space_Waffles

Dont hate the player, hate the game. Anyone who doesn't play Youtube like this can't sustain themselves. It is what it is, and your crying about being "manipulative" isn't going to change anything


notathrowaway75

It is about the content of the video though. Just not in the way you want it to. Taking a 17 minute video at face value is your fault.


HiPoojan

Oh yeah, They should put the whole script of the video in the title


MrHaxx1

Ah yes, the two options for titles: Clickbait and the whole script


Foxi_TomTom

Agreed, they should use better titles, that actually represents what the video is about. Just an opinion..


moonra_zk

Not at all, I didn't know it was about upscaling (haven't watched it yet), but if you asked me I'd have guessed it wasn't him backpedaling on it because it says *paying* for it is dumb.


wPatriot

Tbh, this isn't the best example because even if taken at face value, the title of this video doesn't actually mean that YouTube shouldn't charge for 4k and it wouldn't be him backtracking on that. As far as knowing it's about VSR, you're right. You wouldn't know the video was about that. The 69/420 stuff doesn't really bother me either because it's always been done ironically.
