You can tell the difference between 320kbps and 160kbps in a blind test?

If you can tell anything above 160 you're in a select minority (and using great equipment). Most people will never have any use for 320.

Youtube actually uses 128kbps opus, which should be significantly better than 160kbps mp3

but the real problem is that you can't know what quality the uploader used, it all gets recompressed by youtube.

I don't understand where you guys get these conspiracy theories about the human ear from, you sound like the people who claimed the human eye couldn't see a difference above 60 FPS. It's just obviously wrong. Stop reading studies and telling yourself you can't hear a difference. Use your ears.

We do. 😁 It's very easy to do a blind test and figure out for yourself at what bitrate you stop hearing the differences.
