I think there’s so many different experiences on so many different set ups. One persons ‘really smooth’ and ‘really sharp’ is another persons really stuttery and really blurry. I do take most things on Youtube with a large pinch of salt. People have got to keep adding content and optimisation videos for the sake of clicks. Some of them are helpful though.
Very much definitely this. People shouldn’t feel they have to go out and spend a fortune in order to optimise their hardware when the software itself is badly optimised. I don’t think Youtubers should encourage it either.
