High Quality MESS UP! -YouTube

A hilarious Brandon Hardesty (ArtieTSMITW) video... Ruined because of one of YouTube's most stupidest errors, or as YouTube calls it, one of its, "Current Site Issues."

What is wrong with the world when you upload a video, and its default quality looks like a web-cam underwater? Even worse, the video's high quality option / button is not there, but the high quality version still exists!

Does YouTube even know about this? I'm too lazy to look for it on the list of issues that is posted. But seems like a major issue to me.

If you are the victim of this, you can kinda fix it a few ways:
  • If you have a HD video, take your original video url and put &fmt=18 at the end of it.

  • If you have a HQ video, put &fmt=18 at end of the video.

  • I have no idea what &fmt=6 does... but it does something.


***If you have a complaint, email me at StuffWrongWithYouTube@gmail.com and I will probably post it.
