Also, youtube tends to downgrade the quality from 1080p to lower grades quite aggresively, even when watching on a PC with a fiber connection. Possibly a cost-saving measure?

I've noticed this a lot more lately. I've started going in and toggling video quality up (instead of toggling it down to reduce buffering)

if i want to watch a longer video at guaranteed quality without buffering, i'll download it first. even if the download is slow, it makes better use of my time because i won't waste time waiting for buffers to fill.
