It’s complicated. Essentially, YT spends 24 hours a day trying to dodge the fallout of stupid decisions taken during the previous 24 hours, ad infinitum. They were bashed for certain decisions related to 4k video (which used to be called 4k, then changed to 2160p, then back to 4k, then back to 2160p), leading to the current name scheme.

That’s hilarious

4k and high bitrate 1080p are actually the same thing.

No, I’m not a point. Oh, you mean your point. Funny how you don’t know that, as an American.

For starters, cull the immense amount of duplicated content. Look for some random common word and sort by recent, you’ll see thousands of channels from India, Pakistan and similar nations reposting the exact same videos. There’s also an ungodly amount of spam. These two things alone would, I’d guess, cut down a good chunk of server costs. Another thing is optimizing bitrate, I often get served “1080p” content featuring little more than a static image while browsing in my 6" phone.

LMAO, apt name. You do know that facebook, a known disinformation company, is american, right?

Julius Caesar’s memoir of war in Gaul makes use of VIIII, for instance. You’re right that it’s much rarer, but was still used contemporarily and in modern times.

Bushido is Japanese, this joke doesn’t work.

VIIII wasn’t exclusive to clocks, that’s the only long-lasting example we still have access to.

Is Luna, our moon, a planet?

VIIII is a valid way to write 9, though antiquated. If you look at very old clocks, you’ll see they all use this notation.

Good? No, definitely not.

But still brings up the question of why he was sent them in the first place.

There was an extortion ring running a while back that would try to send people illegal videos then blackmail them. I’m not sure how effective it was, but it did exist.

Literally the one case where “think of the children” would be applicable, and of fucking course they don’t even mention it then.

And just like that, India got a bunch of shady business/tourism. I doubt it was an accidental or unintentional decision.

Even if we ignore what @prole wrote, in civilized countries you’re allowed to break company policy if it infringes your rights, regardless of what a contract says.

which is common across all workplaces?

In your shithole country, maybe.
