>2017 >youtube defaults to 480p Why is this allowed?

>>60314903
we don"t all have google fiber mate

>>60314903
because they try to not exclude third world countries (e.g. the usa) from their service.
if americas internet infrastructure would be on the same level als europes it would probably default to 1080p and 25mbps

Bandwidth efficiency is more important than hurr pixulz!!1
Most of the times, normalfags don't benefit from very high resolution so why waste bandwidth, which by the way, is fucking astronomical as it is?

Life's not fair, is it?

>>60314903
Oh hey, it's the daily "I wasted too much money on a high resolution monitor and need to justify my purchase" post

>>60314903
It defaults to 1080p for me though.

Kek

It doesn't "default" to anything but this is /g/ so why am I expecting any of you people to be up to date on social media sites or technology in general.
YouTube will intentionally set the video quality depending on your connection. You can literally turn this off if you had just tried to look at the settings for 5 seconds before posting.

It defaults to 1080p on Linux for me, but to 480p when using Windows.
Similarly Captcha works without any selection bullshit on linux, while on windows I have to type it a million times.

>>60314999
Do you own a 480p monitor?

Shit's so annoying on android. Why can't I just set a default resolution?

Even worse when I watch a video that has a shit max resolution like 240p and then this is what the next video defaults to

Defaults to 360p in Safari :[[[[

You can change that to your liking.

>>60314903
It chooses its default based on your monitor's resolution. Upgrade your piece of shit.

>>60315326
False
Dual 1080p monitors here.

Your internet connection is shit or your window size is tiny.

>>60314903
it sets the default depending on how good your connection is, it never defaults to that for me on any device i've ever touched.

Then why doesn't Google allow audio-only playback? Seeing as a lot of people use youtube as a music player, they could save a lot by not serving them the video track.

Another shitty YT update and with no option to can't change it back to dark mode. What do?

>video player doesn't take the whole screen by default
>youtube auto algo only test your bandwidth for the first 2 seconds and you're stuck on 480p even if it gets better after a while
What happened to letting people chose shit in their setting instead of enforcing a auto for all by default policy. I hate this "we purified the user" interface trend

Because people still get stuck with shit internet

You cant still manually change the resolution you idiot.

>>60317761
Can* fuck me

>>60315346
Unless you full screen that shit, it chooses the appropriate res for the video size in the browser. Your net speed is also important.

On my MacBook Pro it defaults to 720P in the browser window. Beyond 1080P full screen.

>t. Rural and suburban retard

>>60315147

I'm assuming since you are using Android and are presumably not a retard, that you are using Newpipe to view your Youtube videos. In which case, go to the menu in the upper right hand corner, go to settings, and the third option should be the default resolution.

If by chance you are not using Newpipe, uninstall whatever you were using before, and install Newpipe.
