Even with premium they will send lower quality if they think they can get away with it, I have to change the quality on every video that plays on my tablet now: it completely ignores the preferred quality in the settings.
Yeah I sometimes switch to Firefox instead of the youtube app, but its a little bit annoying switching in and out of fullscreen and I’ve found the tap to fast forward doesn’t work consistently. I wasn’t able to find an addon for Firefox Android to force the quality selection last time I looked but maybe I need to check again.
The implementation seems to be too clever for ublock-origin to block it, as the ids seem to be dynamic.
Desktop site doesn’t get it but it doesn’t have the double tap to fast forward feature 😔
Seems to happen specifically on this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ANR_owxnll0
That actually makes more sense to me compared to most premium features. Higher quality directly costs more money to stream.

I haven’t noticed any issues on Firefox, can also use an add-on to force specific quality.

Just started getting this ad on the mobile site:
