lol zero production costs because they're not a production studio, genius, lmao. they do have a shit ton of overhead costs though - look into it instead of acting like it costs nothing to be the largest video hosted site on the planet.
Keep 720p only for users who upload crap and aren't generating revenue and keep 4k for the channels who are uploading quality content. I've seen a podcast uploading hours of content in 4k. That is incredibly costly to stream to people.
I'm not going to pay for a service that is so wasteful with their income and then they want more.
