This is a catastrophic event that has also affected the big players too.

  • YouTube has set the default resolution to 480 Pixels.
  • Porn websites are offering premium content for free.
  • Netflix’s regular consumption has increased a lot.

Decreasing video resolution can save a huge bandwidth, while 480P is a decent resolution for regular videos. However, YouTube is allowing users to see higher resolution videos manually.
