Broadcast of the view inside the cabin seemed to have some transmission issues. But it did look like the “zero gee indicator” earth plushie did start to float away after dragon separation. But it looked like it didn’t start floating until separation? If so, why didn’t it start floating as soon as SECO?
Why would SpaceX's connection to youtube servers be worse than in the past? Very inexplicable. I hope the footage gets re-uploaded later on in reasonable quality.
I saw no lightning. It was exceptionally clear.
Was it just me, or was there lightning in the distance a couple of minutes before launch? Or was that something else?
It's not SpaceX, it's Youtube. They changed something about live streaming for everyone a couple of months ago that it introduced these horrific compression artifacts at scene changes. SpaceX archived webcasts return to the full intended quality after a while.

SpaceX archived webcasts return to the full intended quality after a while.I ended up switching to the SpaceX.com video feed, which was ultimately less choppy than any of the other feeds (on my computer, at least).There has been some solar activity lately that may have played a role in the quality, as well. Space weather is a real thing.NASA TV had the same exact feed, but much clearer. Unfortunately, they were about 40 seconds behind.
