Jesus fucking christ I only read it until point 8 but I almost died from a cringe overdose. I need a couple of minutes here
So about the question, yes, just learn about the basic differences. Resolutions (1080p is what you normally want), sources (WEB-DL, BD-RIP), codecs (h265/x265 is often higher quality and/or smaller in size than the default h264/x264, AV1 is usually used for small encodes that look like shit).
You don't have to worry too much about audio. Autists will shove FLAC down your throat anyway, but you won't hear the difference if it's not FLAC either. If it's 5.1 meme audio, you will need to enable stereo downmixing in your player for headphones or anything but a 5.1 system.
Subtitles are often available on day 1 due to series being released internationally by crunchyroll or netflix or hulu or somehting like that, in which case there's usually only the official subs available. Avoid dubtitles. Also for series which are not released officially in English, there will be retards who boast about being in some super sekrit club that gave him subs early and think himself superior, conveniently forgetting to disclose the fact that they were AI slop subs some other retard posted on twitter--those are probably the same """""people""""" who make garbage like your OP pic.
