I thought odysee is a better alternative for youtube and offers much more privacy. But it's not. So disappointed.

Feeling hard to quit youtube because of other platforms doesn't have much better or quality contents expecially no instance of peertube is truly usable. 🤥

Are you disappointed when there aren't 360p, 480p, and 720p options available?

I have broadband, so I get annoyed if my video is set to something lower than 1080p. For that reason (and storage space) I disabled those lower resolutions, but I want to know how other users feel.

You're essentially making it so people with bad connections can't use your instance

Every DVD I convert (stuff I own) is converted to 480. I watch on a 60" TV from about 8' away.

I can see no difference between 480 and 1080 - resolution is far less important than things like data rate, frame rate, and a few other things that I honestly don't fully grasp yet.

I just watched Pirates of the Caribbean, at 480, this weekend. Looked perfect.
