Because of the general culture and mindset. Haven't found that anywhere else. That mindset also means they're going to get a whole lot of poison in their datasets.
In Germany, generally, students are expected to bring their own stuff, it's not the school's/teacher's responsibility to provide pencils and what not. That's probably where the confusion lies, there is no scenario in which a teacher has to specifically ask parents to provide supplies because they do that anyway.
You brought up specifically HD. I'm willing to watch ads so that YT can continue delivering even lower quality videos as long as those ads don't interrupt the video.
The downvotes are because what you wrote is pointless. We all know it's made up and in the end there is no actual, definitive, real answer. That's not what we're here for. We are here for the creative exercise of finding an answer that fits the universe of the show and episode. You just shut down that creative process.
So hide the HD stuff behind a paywall. I'm perfectly happy at 720p for the VAST majority of videos. Might even agree to go lower if it means I can watch it without ad breaks.
I like that too and I don't understand why people are so very fundamentally against having stuff recommended to them based on what they're already following.
