True. I just addressed this in a reply above this one as well: Youtube already has too low of a bitrate for 1080p (resulting in MPEG artifacts, color banding, etc). So I like to watch in 2.7K or 4K downsampled, since at least I get a higher bitrate.

Can't do that anymore without either buying a new computer or youtube-dl and recompress the bigger version (which takes hours for minutes of video on my poor machine).
