The video sharing platform – YouTube is on the verge of alienating even its most loyal users after another decision to the detriment of its users. After informing you a month ago that some users were seeing too many ads before a video, there are now complaints on social media for another feature.
Until now, users could choose which resolution to watch videos uploaded to the platform, and this also included the highest 4K quality. However, that has changed, or at least for some users who have posted photos showing that this feature is only available with a Premium account. The video was shared by a user with the nickname sondesix and shows the difference between a premium account and a normal account.
So after testing up to 12 YouTube ads for non-Premium users, some users have now reported that they also need to get a Premium account just to watch 4K videos. pic.twitter.com/jJodoAxeDp

The footage shows that the highest quality clips are only available to users who have paid for the Premium service. Perhaps this is another test of the platform and its developers, but if it turns out to be true, surely a large number of users will be disappointed and have a negative attitude.
