Still not over the fact after close to 20 years Apple/iTunes/Apple TV lowers their movie trailer encode rate not just for new encodes/trailers but all prexisting encodes/trailers too (zerobytes.monster)

You can still download trailers from Apple though it's just a step or two more now - but they went from 9mbps on their movie trailer encodes since 2005-2006 until about 2022 when they redid everything on their backend and killed the old iTunes movie trailers site and moved it to Apple TV down to 6mbps

Guess they wanted to start saving on storage/bandwith costs over the cost of the old files

This wasn't just for new trailers from then on, but all preexisting trailers too :(

Already have some 'older' movies I added to Plex I could have grabbed better trailers for then but didn't know I wanted the movies yet or changed my mind since I initially saw them :(

We used to live in an age of opulence :(
