That's my biggest gripe with consoles. Even if you have a working console, and even if you have a TV that can display composite, It's not going to look amazing.
Meanwhile, there are mods on PC to make Oblivion 4K.
Or even if you take the performance of consoles. There are a lot of PS3 and PS4 games that are poorly optimized, and they dip below 10 frames per second often.
I mean hell, Xenia emulation gets better frames in RDR1 than Xbox 360 or PS3. In fact, RDR1 runs like shit on those consoles, getting an average of something like 20fps.
Not really going to get into it with you, because you clearly have your mind made up, but you pretty much nailed why at the end.
People spend a lot of time and money making videos these days. They aren't just random low quality things. They have teams of sometimes hundreds, use cameras worth half a million dollars, and may take a week or month to record said video while paying those hundreds of employees.
Again, not going to change your mind, Lemmy is very open about not giving a shit about others when it comes to money, but it's not 2006 anymore, and people need to make their money back AND pay their employees.
Personally I'm fine watching a few ads to support the content I clearly want to watch. Seems weird you'd be interested enough in what someone has to show you, but refuse to help them in any way, but whatever.
Remember guys, don't forget to hit the downvote button if you haven't already. How dare I say anything positive that isn't just "fuck ads, fuck YouTube, fuck everyone!"
