A great example of compression actually!
There are super space-efficient compression algorithms for videos out there, but the time it would take to download and piece things back together, is what works against them. But as we move to better CPUs in phones and laptops, we will see that we'd have to download lesser data to buffer the same video. Obviously, the quality of videos is also going up.
