While I can agree with the 4K argument a bit for the hosting is expensive part, I do think it goes way beyond that or long videos. Youtube exists on a scale most don’t even realize. Tens of millions of people upload content every day. We’re talking thousands of hours worth of video every day.
Not to excuse YouTube for a lot of dumb decisions they made, but even on their best day the site just breaks even due to the cost of hosting.
I use Vivaldi Mobile Browser that makes it a lot more usable.
The latter really wouldn’t surprise me. A service could be making four times the investment in profit and many investors will still push to get a few more cents out of it at any cost.
I mean, yeah, if you aren’t into the core elements of a game you probably won’t be interested in the game. It’s like say, “I’m not impressed with the new Mario game. I don’t want to do platforming, and I don’t care about powerups or collecting things.”
It’s the two that aren’t outside in the snow.
