> Viewers on 1 Mbps or 1 Gbps are equally outliers. Both are too weird to cater to, less than optimal, unpredictable, difficult to advertise-to viewers.

Viewers on 1Gbps give off two important signals to advertisers.

1) Probably living near a city to get fiber coverage, which these days is usually a signal of wealth

2) Can afford a fiber internet monthly subscription, also usually not cheap.

This is most likely somebody that advertisers are very interested in getting their ads in front of!

Unless you’re assuming US residents these are not really signals or helpful. In Japan or Korea you can get GBPs fiber for $30. In Eastern Europe you can get fiber for as low as €10 in Romania I think, in western you can get that for 50 in Switzerland.

Meanwhile there are places where it’s not an option at all unless you get into “contact us” price ranges.
