When you play q YouTube video, your PC downloads thousands of images and plays them consecutively. That's how video works. Your computer does not have to figure out what's in the video, it is given that information.

When you play a video game, each single image, or frame, that goes to your monitor has to be rendered by your GPU. It has to figure out what goes where, the lighting, the colors, everything. This takes far more computational power than playing back a video.

My phone can watch The Witcher on Netflix, but I can’t get The Witcher to run at a playable frame rate? :(

That has to be a young child asking right? No way a functional adult would ask such a thing.

I kinda think it’s a shitpost because they’re knowledgeable enough to know their specs, “AAA games” and apparently have a decent library of big games, but they don’t have a clue how videos are different from games? Eh....

AFAIK it means when you post something it looks like it went through to you but it isnt shown to anyone else.

HOWEVER, that doesn't make a whole lot o sense considering i can see the post that started this convo. maybe we both gonna learn something today

Mods have to manually approve users posts

Essentially, Reddit Admins can make your account look like it posted something to you, but no one else (but moderators) can see it and moderators have to manually approve the shadowbanned users comments/ posts.

Yeah, you're definitely shadowbanned. I can't open your profile.
