!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Honestly, as someone else said, US based company, US based standards. Plus, youtube is really designed to show content designed for youtube, not old media from other platforms.
Even the BBC uploads old 576 content to iplayer as 720.
Because if you're going to do the de-interlace etc before uploading, you might as well put it in a format that everyone is expecting.
It's weird though, I swear I had a memory of 576 content being an option at some point...Maybe it was just some content being 50Hz.
This kinda makes sense.
Because America and NTSC use instead of PAL would be my guess.
Never The Same Colour
Valid guess, I guess.
Every additional resolution they support is another copy of every single video in their library. 576p is already a European standard not an American one so that is why they probably never supported it to begin with and they'll probably never supported it in the future.
Good point
Interesting. I saw 576p a few times on PeerTube, but never knew that was a common format...
I live in a country severely close to Europe, and when looking at the screen res of some channels on my telly, I noticed it was all 576p for the most part (standard definition broadcasting is still really common where I'm from).
