YouTube is good at many things, but horrible at uploading videos.

I've been using it for nearly over 15 years, and the problems have always been the same problems. Things take too long to upload, by they time they do, the video is not in the right format, and etc.

Today, It's hard trying to get around the fact by 2024, the problem has gotten significantly worse by providing no options for standard consumers who are looking to just post videos, and only want to offer pretend user services that cannot actually comply with their own advertisement.

It takes about 4+ days of uploading an 8k video (which at 10 minutes does average above 5 gigs of data for a video). Though the video is extremely large, it's just pretty sad that the video service has not come up with a good way of resolving this time disparity. Maybe I'm one of the few individuals who can just actively upload a video if necessary, but this problem has not changed since I started in late of 2022, and you wonder with these multibillion-dollar industries why they cannot get this problem corrected.

YouTube and similar companies always brand towards influences, but for influences, how can it go on this long that the company has not been notified of the lag it takes for uploading? It's one thing to be a college student uploading cool videos to friends, but at this kind of scale, this can ruin a lot of companies if they cannot get their resolution at the current standard of today. It is depressing that I am one of the few individuals who are actively pointing to this problem.

At some point, it has to be noticeable that something has failed. What do you do when you're talking about the primary company that's supposed to be state of the art, and they are still on square one with this issue? Maybe I'm being nitpicky, but the optimization should not be taking a week or more for a ten-minute video.

Maybe it will get better in 2028.
