Even in this poorly made comparison shot I made you can tell the difference between streaming and "self hosting"

Stargate was 4:3, so there's that....

Yeah I really doubt streaming would change anything to 4:3.

Disney+ famously changed classic Simpsons to 16:9 and in the process, cropped enough to make some visual gags not work, but I can't imagine them preferring 4:3 over 16:9.

i've watched more than a few shows that have been brutally hacked into wide format from the original 4:3. the practice is horrible. they need to stop pulling that shit and let the viewer decide whether to crop the frame or not--or put a proper pan & scan up instead of a blind hack job and leave the original format available, too.
