“consumerism”? My dude, it’s pre produced video files. With hardware acceleration it takes barely any real processing power to play back 4k video.
You are not changing anything or making any difference in whether the world is “going to shit”. The Internet bandwidth you’re getting is being artificially choked by your ISP…always.
It feels like you think it’s some kind of moral victory and wanted to take some kind of arbitrary stand against “consumerism” and landed here.
Unless you actually have bandwidth limitations or don’t have a screen capable of displaying the content, lowering to DVD quality is achieving nothing at all.
