Well when we say &quot;more difficult to stream&quot;, we really mean more difficult to stream WELL. With a larger file you are inherently prone to longer start times, more buffering, and therefore a worse user experience. That&#x27;s when you start having to add CDN&#x27;s, better caching, and better encoding. The vast majority of people out there barely have the bandwidth to stream HD under perfect conditions. We always have to make sure we aren&#x27;t the bottleneck.
