    generally speaking, its more valuable if the cost of electricity used is lower than the cost of getting better internet (e.g living in the bumfuck no where).

    say if your isp gives you a 250gb cap and costs 50$ per 250gb (just throwing out numbers), it might make sense to use less data in the stream quality, and upscale it to a higher resolution using GPU as a cost saving measure.
