I Can't Believe YouTube Hasn't Fixed This Year-Long Quality Issue Yet
1 min read
Summary
YouTube users have experienced an irritating bug for over a year where, when they increase the playback speed of 60fps videos, the quality reduces to 480p, and reverting the quality doesn’t solve this.
Gaming channels commonly use 60fps to maximise the quality of fast-moving images, so this issue affects a large number of videos on the platform.
The problem can be seen on various platforms, including smart TVs, streaming boxes and game consoles, and has been noted on Reddit and YouTube’s official support forum to no avail.
Users who have paid for YouTube Premium have also been granted no extra benefits regarding this issue and have even received refunds for their Premium service.
The issue still hasn’t been fixed after a year, and YouTube has even stated that it is intended behaviour, despite it not being an issue before.
This problem affects the quality of watching videos on a platform that is widely used by many people, so YouTube needs to address and fix this issue promptly.
