I use a 1080p monitor and what I've noticed is that once creators start uploading 4k content the 1080p version that I watch on fullscreen has more artifacting than when they only uploaded in 1080p.

Did you notice that as well?

Watching in 1440p on a 1080p monitor results in a much better image, to the detriment of theoretically less sharper image and a lot higher CPU usage.

Youtube uses VP9 for all resolutions most of the time. 1080p and below offer AVC as fallback encoding
