The Coronavirus fear is on top. Everyone is lockdown at their homes and there is nothing to do except sleeping, watching Television and surfing the Internet.
The Update
So, recent updates from Facebook Headquarters suggest that Facebook and Instagram are reducing their streaming Quality in India. So, why they are doing so? What's the reason behind this?
The Reason
As I told in the post excerpt above that everyone is lockdown at homes and there is nothing to do except sleeping, watching television, and surfing the Internet. To engage themselves people are watching Videos across various social media platforms. Facebook and Instagram are the biggest platforms to stream Videos.
But before lockdowns people also watch videos on Facebook and Instagram, so what is the reason that they reduce their Video quality during this pandemic?
The answer is intense traffic. According to a report, India witnesses a 40% increase in Internet traffic during quarantines. The average downloads increased by 66% per user per month and the average uploads rise at 37% user per month. This affected the average data speed to a larger extent and thus Facebook has had to take a hard decision to reduce their streaming quality so that user experience remains unaltered.
