That was so weird at the beginning of the generation.
It's also weird that this exact same thing was repeated for 4K. I wonder if we'll be hearing an updated form of it once next gen comes out. It's also pretty common to say "people can't see 60 fps" or similar but I think VR might have killed that off for good.
(this thread could also be about how we just assume well presented videos are correct. I watched a fact check type video about Christopher Columbus on youtube that called out others for presenting Columbus as an idiot instead of just not a hero. I didn't fully agree with his reasoning but I assumed the underlying information was correct. Then youtube recommended me a video from his channel about Scientology being misrepresented in a similar fashion. That triggered the skeptic in me so I started watching a video of his about 4K tvs to see how accurate his videos were. Sure enough it had the standard misinformation about 4k not being visible and how only fighter pilots can see 120fps. His other videos might not be as horribly wrong but it was just a good reminder for me to not just assume youtube info channels have any sort of inherent accuracy.)
