I have currently started editing and uploading all my videos to YouTube in 4K. Why? Well by doing a little research, which I hope is correct I have learned a little bit about bitrate and how it effects your video. More specifically how YouTube recompresses your videos with certain bitrates depending on resolution. I try to explain why I upload in 4K even though I am mostly shooting in 1080p. I definitely think the videos look better since doing this.
