Why do videos from 10+ years ago have such potato quality these days when they looked fine back then?

Unless I’m misremembering, but I feel like I didn’t struggle to make out details in some videos back then the way I do these days, because the quality seems so degraded.

In addition to other comments, I think another reason could be re-uploads of poor quality. I know when I try to find a video that’s 10+ years old, I usually find some crappy upload that was a screen-capture of a copy of the original.
