YouTube scale is Google specific

It already is quite impossible. Just generate something decent with lower quality. Then maybe take screen recording of the output. Voila.

Then "low-quality for no reason in year the 2026 and beyond where phones shoot at 8k" become part of the heuristics.

Would be a fairly weak heuristic, with most social media images/videos already being like that.

Being pedantic for no reason is one of the heuristics I use to judge how annoying yn users are

I find it super ironic that we're basically here: https://xkcd.com/1683/ now. The 90s and 00s tech people would be very disappointed :-))
