Streaming is always an option. You don't need to download every video you want to watch.

For any and all talk shows, there should be a sub-720p option. Don't really need the video feed at all for most of an episode.

Agreed, since I mostly watch stuff on my not-4K laptop or my not-4K phone.

For people who like to watch stuff on huge 4K screens and stuff, they'll require higher quality videos, but as long as everyone has their needs meet I'm more than fine.

couldn't agree more. I watch pretty much everything on a 50" 720p TV from 10ish years ago. as long as its not some god awful 240p pixelated garbage, I'm fine. When I go over to some buddies places where they have newer nicer tvs and the qaulity is better, I still am 99% focused on story and idaf about the pockmarks on someones face etc.

I don't hate extra quality but end of the day, i want to prioritize disk space without having complete garbage on quality. love it when encoders can do stuff in x265 instead of x264 to cut off a few extra MB.

i have a theory that when quality started going crazy (2K by my mark) is about the same time where story quality in tv shows started taking a big dive. Byt I'm sure lot of ppl not agree lol.

For me, that size in fullHD in x265 is indeed good enough.

I am a data hoarder and endorse this message.

I download the biggest files i can get. Im going to delete it when I'm done with it anyways, who cares about the space.

40MB anime episodes are perfection 200MB episodes are good
