When RUclips allowed music labels to "remaster" their original uploads, different videos had very different approaches. Some are in crystal-clear 4K; others are very definitely not. Here's why some of them look terrible.

Alternate title: Why All Star’s Remastered Music Video Isn’t the Sharpest Tool in the Shed
“it’s sharper, sure. but it’s not better” you really missed the opportunity to say “but it’s not the sharpest tool in the shed”
Enjoy your content make a two drums and cymbals fall of a cliff remastered
“It’s sharper, sure” YOU HAD ONE CHANCE TO SAY “but it ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed”
The Smash Mouth - All Star remaster was clearly the Shrek movie.
My issue wasn't the resolution it is how poor RUclips's SD resolutions are
I just love the thought of having a "Tom Scott" window in my editing software.
In case you aren't aware, they recently remastered some of the old Star Trek shows by re-importing the original films and recreating all of the old effects using CG. The result is incredible, as you'd expect from film, but the amount of work that must have went into trying to match every scene shot for shot and trying to recreate every painted effect with digital effects is unfathomable to me. I'd love to see you do a video about this!
This is really cool, but also sort of sad. Almost like “taping Over” history. Would be nice to have an option on the RUclips Playback window to switch between the old video and new one.
Hearing Tom saying “Demon child” is something I never knew I needed.
I hate the general attitude of “this should theoretically be better, so let’s do it and permanently replace the old thing. Doesn’t matter if you liked the old thing, you HAVE to consume the new thing now.”
“If you are gonna change the historical record it does seem a terrible option to make it worse” no one has ever described the controversy around the Star Wars remasters better

RIP Steve Harwell 😢 Such a shame this shite remaster of the All-Star music video is part of his legacy
Rest in peace Steve Harwell, you made our childhood memorable
“It does seem a terrible option to make it worse.”
The previous evening, in a pub:
Fun fact: Apollo launched in the 60s/70s were filmed on film but then scanned to display on tv all over the world. And since then, the images of Apollo launches we see are those bad quality scans from the 80s... Until someone decided to scan the original films again and put them into a movie: Apollo 11
Rest in peace Steve Harwell
