Yep, just imagine how bad the compression artefacts will be if they double the resolution but keep storage/network costs the same.

    Increasing resolution but keeping the same bitrate still improves the image quality, unless the bitrate was extremely low in the first place. Especially with modern codecs

    20mbps 4k looks a lot better than 20mbps 1080p with AV1
