to avoid strain on the network from the corona virus pornhub has decided to follow netflix and lower the resolution of their streams #SwitchToStandard
Just to be absolutely clear, this #SwitchToStandard idea is entirely pointless, and entirely ignorant of how the internet actually works. Don't let the ignorant guilt you into watching in SD. Watch in whatever resolution you want. Stream in 4K HDR if you want.

Getting a lot of joy out of reading these β¦@zoom_usβ© reviews from #schoolclosure #students #UFT #nycschools #coronavirus #SwitchToStandard
But yeah, infrastructure seems to be really at strain. It's prime time and I only get 925 Mbit/s out of my booked 1000 Mbit/s. Tough times ...
(Yes, that's sarcasm)

Next time your internet connection drops out, just remember that EU commissioner Thierry Breton is currently asking people to watch Netflix on standard definition to try and prevent Europe's entire broadband infrastructure from going down during #covid19

I warmly 
the initiative that #Google takes to preserve the smooth functioning of the Internet during the #COVID19 crisis by having #YouTube switch all 
traffic to SD by default.
@sundarpichai and @SusanWojcicki demonstrate strong responsibility.
