The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

He doesnt get a benefit afaik. Its automated by YouTube, some (1080p) videos get it, some dont. Thats why is might look shit, this creator just has a worse setup now and isnt encoding his videos with a good enough bitrate. If YouTube think your video will benefit from more bitrate, then it transcodes in a higher bitrate, if it doesnt, then that enhanced option doesnt even appear.
