Q: Why do the versions of your videos on this site use a resolution of 1136 x 639, while they are 1080p on YouTube?
A: because at the time that i started making videos regularly, that was the size that automatically fit on the screen on the computer / web browser that i was using. 1280x720 (or larger) would go off the screen by default, and require clicking extra buttons to see the whole thing. actually, this is still the case on my current computer / browser. Another reason to keep the file sizes low on the site is because i do not use streaming on the site. smaller files means faster load time. if you prefer a streaming experience you can always use youtube, but i prefer to actually load the files because then you can pause/unpause (to discover those dank secrets!) and just really horse around with the play slider, which is generally a must-have for me when i watch videos. it's what drives me crazy about watching on youtube, you really can't manipulate the playback nearly as readily as i would prefer
