To get the best video streaming experience, a high video resolution is a must! 720 to 1080p can offer an okay quality but what many people warrant is 2K, 4K or higher.
Unfortunately, aim it as much as you want, this is not the case for most YouTube users recently. Reports show that YouTube videos, even Shorts, are reverting to as low as 144p. Just imagine the low solution that a lot of users are not compromising. Each time they watch a YouTube video or Shorts, it instantly reverts to the low resolution.
So, just set the resolution to higher, they say. Sad to say, it does not make any difference. The number will only go back to a lower numeric by default. Oftentimes, the video will only result in buffering, making the situation worse.
