My first video post and didn’t add the required [video] suffix to the title.
Just realized about it, apologies.

#12In my youtube quality menu, it only goes up to 1080p. Is this really 4K?
If you are trying to watch this on a phone then the YouTube app is limiting the maximum resolution to the resolution of your phone.

#13I'm not sure if panning through static photos Ken Burns-style from Mars qualifies as "Mars in 4K [video]". But I appreciate that it makes these stunning images more accessible to more people.
Does this video make them more accessible? It seems to make them less accessible. It's a video composed of readily-available images from https://mars.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/images

#14This is a really cool video and I don't mean to detract from it, but seeing how its 10 minutes and 8 seconds long annoyed me so much (and not for the reason you think).
"10 minutes" is an ad milestone for videos on youtube. I systematically click away and hide videos that are between 10:00 and 10:20 minutes long: They'll almost certainly have been artificially slowed down to match the ad requirements.
It's infuriating, and once you know about it, you see it everywhere. Anyway, in this instance it matters a lot less as the audio is completely unimportant…

YouTube just changed the ad milestone to 8 minutes, and this was posted after this change.

In 9/10 cases you don't see the difference anyway unless you are actually on a very large screen and you don't mind wasting the extra computing power.

extremely recently, like a week ago or so, and this video was from 3 days ago; for the next few weeks I'm still going to look at the 10 min timestamp as more telling than an 8 min one (though I'm sure youtubers will "migrate").
Looking at the channel, 3 of its videos are between 10:04 and 10:09 long. Of course, that's nothing compared to a lot of other long-form youtubers I've seen with like 80% of their videos around that timestamp.

I was experiencing that on Safari, then switched to Chrome and it now shows 4K.

#19The narrator explains why getting HD video would be impractical, but I disagree that we get the same experience from panning stills. imagine seeing the swirling dust, shifting sands, the bumps and parallax from a moving rover. that would be so cool!
Parallax, maybe, but no wind = no swirling dust or shifting sands, no?

#20They achieved their goal of monetizing public domain images and getting it promoted on a social network.
