"An 8K video is 10 times heavier and more polluting than an HD video. On your smartphone, you literally can't even see the difference. It's pointless waste."

99% of time 720p is enough. You can share it without waiting too much time for the upload.
It happens to me very seldom that I need higher resolution.

Also, 720p fits under 10 Mbps, no need to upgrade to that Gbps link!

I'm being sarcastic, and I've actually heard something similar

in reply to Ciara • • •Even 4K needs you to be about 1.5m from a 72" screen to see much difference from upscaled HD.
HD (1080p) with higher frame rate (say 96 fps) is more use than QHD or 4K, unless it's a screen the size of a wall.
Even 1080p is a bit pointless on a smartphone.
My phone was Android 8 and the local AnPost Banking killed the Web interface. The App needed Android 10 minimum. They claimed the App was more secure.
An Android App isn't more secure. See fines against Google & Malware on phone.
