How the fuck do i get around this premium 1080p bullshit without buying youtube premium

>>105681236 (OP)
I don't know, I just hid that part of the menu using a uBlock Origin script. I'm not exactly looking for a cinematic experience from YouTube, it's just slop to listen to in the background as I work.

>>105681401
>script
Meant to say filter, you get the idea. Anyway, I believe it was this one:
youtube.com##.ytp-quality-menu .ytp-premium-label:upward(.ytp-menuitem)

>>105681236 (OP)
You don't

And there is no reason to.

1080p non-premium is the same quality 1080p they've done for over a decade.

Premium bitrate just increases the bitrate (depending on the source upload bitrate).

But you're still getting the exact same 1080p you've always gotten.

>>105681611
wrong

>>105681617
Not wrong at all, I have a huge archive of downloaded YouTube videos, you can go back to those years old videos that have the premium bitrate option, download the non-premium 1080 encode and compare it to the ones I downloaded from 5+ years ago, and they have identical bitrate.

>>105681611
>1080p non-premium is the same quality 1080p
The bitrate was actually a bit higher before 2020. I've compared videos downloaded in 2019 to the same video right now, and the old one looks noticeably better. I also tried comparing the bitrates, and the old one does in fact have a higher bitrate for the same codec.

>>105681649
Nope, I've got downloaded videos going back to 2014 and I've looked at dozens of them thinking it mightve changed, but after checking like 20 or 30 videos there was zero difference

If you've got proof, post it.

>>105681628
>>105681658
wrong

>>105681670
Nope, you're just a coper thinking they MUST'VE decreased quality, despite the obvious fact it would take a fuck ton of processing power to re-encode all those old videos with a new lower quality encode.

>>105681685
Maybe it's something that only applies to newer videos.

>>105681236 (OP)
For me, it's 720p because I watch youtube videos in a seperate window while I shit post on 4chan.

>>105681685
wrong

>>105681698
The average bitrate hasn't changed either.

It's not like old videos are 5-8mbps and new ones are 1-3mbps.

Normal 1080p is 5-8mbps with premium bitrate going up to even 25mbps depending on the source bitrate.

>>105681703
Honestly, most of the time I don't even bother putting them in a separate window. Most videos get their point across with only audio just fine. If it's something important, I'll just watch it and not do anything else in the meantime.

Enjoy the lower bitrate. Niggas who think 1080p is 1080p does not deserve higher bitrate. There is no 'resulotion' in data. The resolution is finished just after the show phase. Blu ray isn't 1080p. It is certain bitrate.

>>105681888
No one is saying 1080p is 1080p, they're saying the non-paid 1080p bitrate has remained the same over the last decade+, even after the paid higher bitrate option was released.

A lot of morons think when YouTube started offering 1080p premium bitrate, they downgraded the non-paid 1080p bitrate to be even worse, which is simply untrue.

Stop being poor.

>>105681685
Ignore the spamming nigger, he just does that sometimes, particularly when the topic of big O notation comes up, it's not his fault

they have
>trust me bro they didnt
they have
>tru-
they have

dont reply to me ever again

>>105682122
Lol

Shouldn't we just be glad we still have 1080p though?
YouTube is expensive af to run. I'm not surprised they're trying to rake in a few percentages of the billions of dollars it cost to run.

>>105681972
Lot of niggaz here think dvd is 576 p but I say its even 4k whatever. ts just bitrate.

>>105681236 (OP)
kek

Unless they fixed it, yt-dlp can download 1080p Premium for free for you

Good goy

>>105682610
>Run high resolution
>Get bitrate with process

>>105681236 (OP)
I just bought youtube premium. Fuck it, I'm tired of ads and it's cheap as fuck. They won. I concede defeat.

>>105682000
Shit, Amerilards pay 14 bucks for it? Here it's 4,50

>>105681611
>there is no difference in quality besides the primary source of image quality in digital video
Congratulations on being even dumber than the children who make daily youtube threads.

Use yt-dlp.

>>105684507
Fuck off you subverting jew.

>>105681401
>slop to listen to
Dumb ESL. You're not supposed to call things you enjoy slop, you're basically calling yourself a pig.

>>105684854
I'm not sure what you're getting at. *oink*

Speaking of dodging youtube ads and youtube’s pushing of premium
How do i dodge twitch ads?

>>105684890
you dont. they inject ads into the stream cdn. if you block the ad you block the stream.

>>105684655
Again, there is no DROP in quality.

Of course premium is better, but they didn't retroactively make regular 1080p worse.

>>105684928
Cool. I didn't say there was.

>>105684854
self-awareness is one of the most basic signs of intelligence, anon

>>105684890
You can. Look for TTV lol. I use it with streamlink, but it works on most browsers. I would say ublock filter is better for browsers though. Keywords: twitch ad solutions
.>>105684901
>you dont
Wrong.

>>105684953
Yes, but I did >>105681611 and your lack of reading comprehension made you say something retard and without making sense.

Good job bud

Just select 2160p on a 1080p screen

>>105686526
Wrong

>>105681413
Thanks for sharing. Put it in Brave Shields and it works like a charm.
