I just noticed a couple days ago that youtube videos are now defaulting to 480p when you open them. Anyone else experiencing the same? Can we fix it?

lel

144 half the time.

Then works fine when I set it to max, but I just use free.

If it's on your phone, it's because they decided to default video quality to a lower setting because they're assholes.

I've always used an extension to force quality high because it seems they love to just randomly switch it to super finicky Auto even when I have a selected preference.

I use "Enhancer for YouTube" on Firefox, but I think there are a half dozen of such extensions for that and other browsers.

I've noticed it if I watch something from a channel I've never visited before, but for stuff I'm subbed to, it seems to be doing 1080p as usual
