Did you all noticed from recently that youtube is giving only lov quality opcion (360p) in mozilla firefox, despite youtuber uploaded that video in high quality (1080p)…?

I think this is another move where they are using monopoly to ruin firefox and leave only chrome as only webbrowser…

First time i thought hm this is strange why is this video in so poor quality and i saw that only 360p opcion iz awailable. This youtuber for sure wouldnt upload video in this bad quality so i copied the link and pasted it in another browser chrome and it showed in 1080p and good quality and everything was normal. So i think its must be on purpose to ruin firefox.

    and forces Google to pay for ads people didn’t see.

    You seem to have this backwards - Google gets paid for clicks on ads. It’s the advertisers that pay Google, and they are the ones that lose out on this.

      Yeah, then a portion of that money goes to creators in the form of adsense revenue.

      One of the main criticisms I hear against what I do, as opposed to paying for Premium, is that it takes money away from creators, which is why I mention it.
