It can be frustrating when you experience faster download speeds on Steam compared to streaming platforms like YouTube. Several factors can contribute to this difference. One possibility is that your internet service provider (ISP) might prioritize certain types of traffic, giving higher priority to game downloads and lower priority to streaming services. Another factor could be the server locations and network congestion. Steam might have servers located closer to your location, resulting in faster downloads, while YouTube's servers could be farther away or experiencing higher traffic. It's also worth considering the quality settings you're using on YouTube. Higher video quality requires more bandwidth, so if you're having trouble at 144p, you might want to check your internet connection or try lowering the quality settings to see if it improves the streaming experience.
