whats the current meta for uploading 1080p60 gameplay ?

I was watching this video and he recommends that you should upload h.265 1440p instead of 1080p so that youtube transcode the video to VP9 instead of AVC. I'm currently editing CQP20 vods into h.264 1080p60 @ 50mbps . I got H.265 to work in premiere now. so I want to know what I can do to perserve as much quality as possible after youtube compress it to shit I can't find much info on this kind of stuff...

Well it’s not about VP9, but just the higher bitrates assigned to 1440p/4k But the “meta” is to export in 1440p or 4k 30-50mbps hevc

Alright i guess ill export 1440p60 @50mbps h265 just uplaoded 4 test video @ 1080ph264/5 , @1440pH.264/5 . I can see with my own eyes the 1440p videos @1080p looked so much better than native 1080p The 1440 h.264/5 looked very similar but i think ill go with h.265 just for file size sake i wonder how much more quality i can get if i upload 4k instead of 1440p

so I learned from the video that i should upload either 1440p or 4k but upload 4k if I can. (which i can) but do i just upscale by literally scale up the footage or during export I choose 4k/1440p instead

how about my local recording ? should I change my output resolution to 4k/1440p? I think this would also affect streaming right ? https://i.imgur.com/Qm05JV5.png
