Sure thing, the issue seems to be related to YouTube compression. Watching 720P gameplay on my 22-inch 1080P screen feels fine, but gaming at that resolution causes discomfort. On my 22-inch monitor, playing 720P games makes me feel uncomfortable, whereas on my PC it’s okay. The 28-inch 4K monitor shows 720P videos as poor quality, while 1080P and 1440P look good. Playing 1080P on my 28-inch monitor feels fine, but 1440P is ideal for me. Gaming in 4K on my monitor gives a strong reaction, though it varies by game. My viewing distance stays consistent across all setups. I’m not sure if this is unusual since people have different preferences. I enjoy console and PC gaming, owning a PS4 and a PC with an i7-4790K+GTX 980.
It might be the chance you're engaging with one person instead of another. The same applies when I watch someone play a video game at 65FoV—I can't play it at that resolution because it causes headaches. I can handle games at lower resolutions, though it requires some adjustment.
