Poor video upload quality

[TripleDigitRide]

I know we have several techies in here, so maybe someone can explain why the video quality on my Samsung Galaxy S6 looks great, until I upload to Facebook or YouTube. Then the quality drops, drastically. 

I've tried Googling the correct settings, but nothing seems to make a difference. Maybe I'm missing something.

There's something about the file size and type, that youtube intentionally degrades the quality to reduce the file size.  I think youtube has different account levels/types where it will or won't let you upload full HD quality video.

I'll have to pay closer attention to other videos. It seems like every video I see is fine, except for mine. I'll watch more closely.
