I've not done this so can't vouch for accuracy but a number of creators I speak with do not trust the YouTube encoding process for 1080p HD videos to maintain the best possible quality.

What several of them do is record and upload in 4K resolution as, I'm told, YouTube handles this higher resolution better and even when it 'downscales' for 1080p the video will end up looking better, and more faithful to your original. If that helps at all. ?

Thanks @Ajaxpost ! That's exactly the kind of facts I'm needing. There is obviously something weird with the upload/compressing of my latest vids, and uploading as lower qualit than I do, might actually help. I gotta test this when I'm back from Easter vacation.
