Nowadays people watch 1080p Youtube videos on their phones. Back in my day, videos were download-only, and you might spend a few hours to get a 120p TV rip a couple minutes long, like the classic video of the beached whale being blown up by dynamite.

There's a school of thought that youtube style content isn't good from a business perspective, that all of those downloads cost more than they can make.

Mainly it's because American bandwidth is way too expensive due to years of infrastructure and greed.

I'd love to go back to the days where you download the videos and audio you want in the background and watch it later.

It would save the platforms so much money and make competition viable.

But people are WAAAAAY too immediate gratification oriented, they want their endless stream of 30 second fluff clips in full HD.
