Some users are reporting that they can’t watch YouTube videos in 4K resolution without signing up for YouTube Premium.
One of YouTube’s most basic features might soon be locked behind its paid subscription. In recent weeks, some users have found that 2160p resolution videos are only viewable with a YouTube Premium subscription. This appears to be a limited test for now, but it’s unclear if YouTube plans to roll this restriction out to everyone eventually.
As spotted by Alvin (@sondesix) on Twitter, several Reddit threads have popped up over the last month from YouTube users complaining about the change.
