The unfortunate side-effect of that is that most prominent streaming apps (don't know about Youtube though) then send fragmented UDP packets which leads to reassembly overhead and in case of lost packets, a significantly larger lost data than neccessary.I advise people doing streaming to not use MTU's larger than ~1450 for these sorts of reasons.
