I used to think it was just my connection, but then I realized most sites are just hosting heavily compressed garbage to save on server costs, which ruins the whole point of a high-def experience. I’ve pretty much stopped using my old search habits and now I just go straight to a tube that tracks live viewer activity, as it’s the most reliable indicator of what’s actually worth watching in full 1080p or 4K. When a video has a huge live audience, it’s usually because the clarity and the production value are miles ahead of the generic stuff, and it saves me so much time from clicking and immediately closing out of low-res disappointments.
