It's not the high income countries choice.

If you reduce your consumption the cost of oil will fall towards the cost of production and middle/low income countries would consume it.

The only way someone in a high income country can prevent this is to buy oil and permanently bury it.

Most of the things you think of as static video files (say youtube) are actually video segments operating more or less exactly the way live streams work.

> As an aside, video decoding is offloaded onto hardware, so it's not as battery intensive as it used to be.

This is technically but not usefully true with most videos on the web today.

The video decode itself is accelerated, but each frame passes through JavaScript to be composited.

The only time video is fully hardware decoded is when it's a simple video element to a static video file.
