Am I the only one preferring low quality media over high quality one? (feddit.nl)

I have a very slow Internet connection (5 Mbps down, and even less for upload). Given that, I always download movies at 720p, since they have low file size, which means I can download them more quickly. Also, I don't notice much of a difference between 1080p and 720p. As for 4K, because I don't have a screen that can display 4K, I consider it to be one of the biggest disk space wasters.

Am I the only one who has this opinion?

I usually stick to 1080p medium for movies and TV shows I want to rewatch, 720p for the stuff I'll watch once.

For movies I try to stick to a 2-5GB filesize, and TV shows between 200-400MB per episode.
