This is an exclusive quality option for paid subscribers to the platform, which, according to YouTube, provides an “enhanced bitrate”. That's because, after all, the image resolution remains the same conventional that non-paid users have access to. That is, the resolution of 1920 by 1080.
In this sense, the big change concerns image compression. By that, we mean that quality will increase because of less aggressive compression by the platform. In this way, users will be able to feel that there has been a significant change in the sharpness of the image when watching movies and videos.
Furthermore, there is much speculation as to whether other higher resolutions will see improvements in the coming months, such as 1080p resolution. For example: the question remains as to a possible “enhancement rate” for 1440p resolution or even 4K resolution of 2160p, but so far it cannot be said yes or no.
New YouTube policies
more and more to platform seeks ways to further monetize its services, even to compete with other social networks and the streaming phenomenon. To this end, new subscription policies are being created with the aim of making this type of consumption much more attractive to users.
In fact, this particular change comes right after the resignation of former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki. According to rumors, this new resolution is still an initiative that came from Wojcicki in his last days of work, however it is expected that the new CEO, Neil Mohan, will bring more news in this sense.
