I assume you use a refrigerator and not a hole in the ground with ice. Have you been manipulated into giving money to Big Appliance?
Some people were teenagers when that was the best you could get, so I'm guessing they see it as a "good old days" baseline that they can be principled about while indulging their nostalgia.
Of course this might still be micro-optimization from a rural Africa point of view. And a part of the reason for running the fridge is still just convention and convenience.
Also their AI upscaling makes it look like the guy is wearing foundation and makes it hard to take seriously lol.
Of course after some point a higher rendering resolution starts giving diminishing returns if the resolution for the source material isn't also increased.
Except different companies sell different things. This is like the conspiracy that women's pants don't have pockets to sell more purses.
Oh my god, this explains everything!
(btw. I recently learned, that the 9/11 inside job conspiracy evolved. Nowdays the standard theory is, that there were not even planes in the first place, just bombs and smoke)
