Additional context
How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?
People will benefit this feature because they will no longer go through the hassle of changing every video's default quality (always 720p60) manually when the network slows down or when they have high speed internet and want to watch higher resolutions.

Hi I've edited my issue please reopen it.
Thanks! I removed the first paragraph for you because it isn't necessary anymore.
This issue has been open for years. I think it's about time you tried.
@SavageTheUnicorn whom are you referring to by "you"? Whoever that is, you do not have the right to demand work on NewPipe from anybody. NewPipe is free software developed voluntarily in the team's and contributors' spare time. If the lack of this feature bothers you so much, I invite you to try to implement it yourself. If you (or anybody for that matter) would like to give it a try, you're welcome to ask the NewPipe team any question, and we'll be happy to give you pointers.
@mhmdanas the team in general. From what I see this is the most requested feature, yet it's the most ignored. Every issue is closed due to "Not being planned", yet @SameenAhnaf says this is not the case and it's due to duplicates. For 2 whole years (can't say there was no time since everyone was sitting on their ass at home during covid). Atleast add it to the "Major Planned/Missing Features" issue or something so people stop opening the same issue. Sure plenty of smaller stuff has been added and fixed but who asked for those features? Can't handle a little criticism?

This is definitely not the most requested feature, not even close. Here's the list of issues in this repo, sorted by the number of thumbs-up reactions: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc. This issue is nowhere in the first five pages (I can't bother to look where it is in the 42 pages of issues).
Every issue is closed due to "Not being planned", yet @SameenAhnaf says this is not the case and it's due to duplicates.
GitHub's phrasing is somewhat misleading in that regard. "Closing as not planned" can also mean that the issue is a duplicate, invalid, etc.
Sure plenty of smaller stuff has been added and fixed but who asked for those features?
Well, given that somebody opened these issues in the first place...
Also, to call the features being added and fixes being done "smaller stuff" is a massive understatement. https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/8153, for instance, took an incredible amount of effort from @AudricV and others to implement, and the reviewers spent many hours reviewing and re-reviewing the PR. It also fixed multiple long-standing issues.
Can't handle a little criticism?
You have the right to criticize the team, but whether your criticism is valid or not, you do not have the right to demand the team, contributors, or anybody else pour their blood and sweat for no compensation.
@mhmdanas I never demanded anything. I simply stated my opinion that work should start on it after so long. No need to get upset over your own misunderstanding.

Lol, you're just trying to make it sound better. But, ractically, it's almost the same thing. My opinion is that you should implement this feature, since you think it's been too long. How about that? Also, in my opinion, you don't tell what others do in their free time nor what features should they contribute or not. And lastly, in my opinion, you should do some reading on common misconceptions users of open source software have (since you don't seem to have a good perception of the concept yet), before replying (if you think there's more to be said). Yet, I think it's common sense that it's very rude to tell others how to spend their free time (you don't even know if they have any, whatever the condition is), and that when you get something for free, you're not entitled to anything, for God's shake. No one owes you to work on anything. Thus, instead of "voicing your opinion" that the team is lazy, sitting on their asses, show some appreciation for the work they've done so far, or at least find a polite way to call for more attention on this feature. Did you know you can set a bounty on it?
@tsiflimagas You sound mad. Why would I set a bounty for this if I can just use a different application? In fact this feature is 100% the reason why myself and everyone else I know won't use newpipe. Besides vanced still works and Revanced is a thing as well. Be my guest and type out whole paragraphs over a 2 sentence comment. It's a shame I don't care about your opinions, it'd probably make this argument (if you can call it that) more entertaining. Never called the team lazy or said they were sitting on their asses anyways I was talking about everyone in general smart ass :)
Oh, now I get it. You must be a kid, and not a very bright one. I won't make you the honor spending any more time explaining anything else to you, you sadly lack comprehension. Keep using closed source software, you're not mentally suitable for any open source community. And keep calling others names, now that you're little. It will get you in trouble once you grow adult.
I think this is growing a little too heated. I'm going to lock this issue temporarily. Please let's try to avoid disrespectful language and insults.
