I imagine some amount of that is because theres thousands of them being processed at once and processing a video to the extent YouTube does takes considerable computer power so even at their scale it starts to push against the limits of the resources they're willing to allow youtube users to use

Yeah I figured, but they do have a lot of money to spare which is also evident with how easily they bring up and throw away projects. More supercomputers would help, I mean I uploaded a 40 minute video and it's been a day and it's still 360p. Some more computing power could at least lessen this time.

I agree though, it should be higher
