IDK, it's just a thought that occured when listening to that comparison. I was reasonably happy with YT sound quality lately. But with the downloads the difference is obvious. Not worlds apart, but still obvious.
There's really nothing about paying customer that makes my compression any better - it simply removes ads - believe me, since they really like selling subscriptions, if the compression changed because of it, they would waste no time marketing that unless they do and I missed it.

See the other thread I posted FWIW where one can directly compare an original WAV to SoundCloud as best as it can be compared via forum - I think it is important people hear blind switching tests like that to reassure or confirm their ears.
