The problem is that YouTube infrastructure is ridiculously expensive. Streaming 4K videos is not a joke. Creators won't create crap without YouTube. Sadly all other platforms have died. Again, because running such service is ridicolously expensive.

They'd still be trying to pull this shit if all streaming was limited to 144p.
