Back in 2000s: In the last week, many users have reported that YouTube is not meeting its general quality standards. Some videos and shorts display as a guard, pixeled mess. The company is aware of the problem and is working on a fix, but does not know what is the cause of semi-outs.
Over the last few days, many viewers have said that YouTube feels that digital has gone back to the Stone Age. The 20-year video-sharing platform struggles to provide the optimal, or even moderately decent, streaming quality, which resort to the lowest video resolutions despite users with adequate network bandwidth.
Some users have faced this strange quality issue for days, their viewing experience has reduced 360p and sometimes 144p resolutions. Manually competing with the quality of 1080p has helped in some examples. However, other people have found that doing so leads to endless buffering. At least a fraction of users complains that YouTube simply refuses to stream on a decent quality, no matter what they do.
The issue is not different for the same platform, either. Users have reported issues of resolution on Windows, iOS/iPados and Smart TV. Android appears to be the only ecosystem where YouTube is still acting as an intention, meaning that Google’s OS -based smartphones and tablets can currently provide the best YouTube experience. coincidence?
Google does not even know what is happening with YouTube. The company on Wednesday acknowledged the issue, admitting that the platform is serving a low resolution “some” users. However, there was no other details of this, in addition we learned from the affected users. Google said it is working on a fix, but does not provide the deadline when things should be normal.
While Mountain View tries to fix its video platform, streaming addicts can evaluate some alternative solutions. As mentioned, YouTube should work well on any Android device. Competition, although low, video platforms, such as vimeo or dailymotion, sometimes have similar materials. Even Facebook can trick if you are desperate enough to jump into that hole. Twitch, as well as don’t forget. Many gaming streamers on YouTube also have Twitch channels.
The quality of the video in favor of the YouTube audience is just another fork. The platform has recently been in a sharpness, forcing users to leave their advertising blockers. This has increased prices for premium users, while they have been offered a “advertising option” mostly. From the point of view of things, Google has been preparing users for old cables from the end of the 70s and the early 80s. This bat-end-switch hook cable customers with most advertising materials like MTVs, then dumped advertisements on them at the top of their premium membership costs.
