I feel like this was copy edited by ChatGPT and it really grates me. I couldn’t help but lose focus after I started seeing telltale signs of AI. While the topic matter is interesting, I feel like obviously synthetic content falls into the “that which was not worth writing, is not worth reading either” trap. If the authors tone is extremely ChatGPT-esque, I apologize in advance.

Wow, this entire thread is some direct and very valuable feedback. Thank you to everyone who weighed in. I hear you all loud and clear!

Why is this now flagged ? Perhaps the most important question which I have yet to see anyone pointing out. Those bit rate numbers are appalling! 2-4Mbps average bitrate? For a services you are paying for? I knew Netflix has gotten bad but this is worse than I thought. Even some high end YouTube Content does better than that. It should be 8Mbps minimum. And at this bitrate the difference between H.264 and AV1 wont be…
