- Funnily, I've set the default resolution to 144p.

Thought I was the only one dealing with this bullshit!
why wouldn't you use revanced
It does the lowest it thinks it can get away with since less bandwidth saves them money. You need to train it that you actually want higher quality by changing it often. I use revanced to avoid the whole issue. (It also has handy 3x playback speed for slow talkers)
This happens if you have a shitty Wi-Fi. Ours was replaced, but it was found out that it is even worse.
- Even with high speed internet it seems to always default to 480p.
  It'll update to 720p or 1080p a few minutes in sometimes. But in general it's just a large inconvenience.
  
  Low quality saves cost for YouTube and YouTube thinks that you won't notice the difference between 480p and 1080p on your phone. They don't fuck with your quality on desktops because they know you'll notice that
  
  I mean, if you’re using your phone, you’ll barely notice the difference. The only reason I care about higher resolution is because they’re the only options with 60fps.
On the desktop version of youtube, automatic used to say that the quality was 480p or 720p, but when i switched to those qualities, the video looked much better
Yeah lots of "high resolution" videos with low bitrates that are essentially worse than dvd quality but already scaled the window size is bigger.
