Your comment is talking about resolution, and the post is about YouTube throttling speeds, not resolution of videos. I suspect you were trying to respond to a comment instead of making your own top level comment, though I’m not certain. In any case, if the comment is in the wrong place, now you know. If it isn’t, well, it may help to know that it’s out of place thematically. Edit: I think this comment https://midwest.social/comment/18120563 is where you intended to respond
