Seems like somehow YouTube is also affected? I'm starting to think that this is an attack of sorts and not Meta specific

Edit: YouTube seems now to be defaulting to a lower bitrate, leading me to guess it's a demand issue.

Social Media is very successful in Get Out the Vote campaigns for younger people - who typically vote for one party disproportionately.

This would be a point for sure, except this is a primary and the only people who can vote in it are registered party members. Young people actually registered already care enough to know it's the primary today. This one is already decided though. Biden on the Democrat side, Trump on the Republican. If anything it might hurt the Trump side a bit, as people may not realize that the Supreme Court only yesterday ruled st…

Can't you register the same day as the voting happens? Seems utterly stupid that you have to register to vote to begin with, but if it's a requirement, you should at least be able to register the day of the voting.
