Using data to watch videos for gold

When using data to watch videos for gold the amount of data I use varies immensely. Some days each video uses about one MB while others days each video uses four MB. Does anyone know why this happens and is there a way to rectify this. Thanks

    Just a guess but probably cause the videos/ads vary ? Some are quick 15 second ones then have longer 35-45 second ones so guess they take different amounts then there are the long videos that also have a playable game and I would think they would be the high data ones. Not 100% sure as not cpu geek but seems the varying length and content would lead to differing amounts of data?

    It doesn’t matter what the length of each video is . I had thought about that and started keeping track of the length of the videos vs the data used

    I wish I could. I don’t have access where I’m using data

    Why wouldn’t it just be differences in the size of the video files, regardless of time length?

    I'm curious why it matters and why you started tracking this. I can't figure it out 😵‍💫

    My guess is that he doesn’t have unlimited data on his phone and his work wifi won’t let him connect to TSB.

    I guess that would sense. My brain must've forgot the days of not unlimited data - even though it's really not THAT long ago I was buying prepaid minute cards 🤮

    Mifi...My work is the same so I got that🤷... But I also have unlimited data for phone through my job as well. Mifi does a little better job though because it's through a different carrier then my phone's data plan.

    I'm guessing there's some caching of video ads locally on the phone. Especially given how often video ads are repeated. I doubt it downloads each one fresh every time. So if you get a lot of repeats, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't eat up a lot of data

    I mean you can upgrade to unlimited data even on cricket. go down the dude on the corner you bought it from an axe him.
