Streaming has surged in recent weeks, and to ease the traffic, YouTube has limited its video quality. For the foreseeable future, users will first see their video of choice in standard definition, says Bloomberg. To get the HD experience, they will have to toggle that mode.
However, viewing vids in SD doesn’t mean entrepreneurs should cut back on the service. YouTube is still overflowing with useful content that you now have more time to consume. From entertaining tutorials to informational vlogs, there are countless channels that educate, inspire, and boost creativity. Here are five that business owners should tune into.

Genius has a handful of entertaining series. But with Deconstructed, viewers get a chance to watch the hottest artists and producers breakdown the creative and technical aspects of their top hits. You don’t have to be a rising producer or engineer to enjoy these clips, but if you are, don’t take this peek into the process for granted.
