I think that when KZbin has changed encoding formats and they way they store videos they've reprocessed and reencoded these older videos, causing them to become more and more lossy overtime. Because they're certainly not storing videos the same way as they did in 2005

53:43 what I find interesting about this little exchange is how the references to COVID are becoming so subtle. Imagine if in the future somebody born after 2018 watched it. That person would have no real memories of COVID, so to them Ian asking "I wonder why?" and Jack replying "I don't know" might seem authentic. Even if they did notice that there was a joke there they might need to look it up. We see stuff like this for other things in the past. I'm sure there's tonnes of media created or set before 1995 where I'd need references, both subtle and explicit explained.
