Right at the top of the list is H.264

What does YouTube use? H.264. Do not tell me my business.
I cannot let this falsehood stand.
If you click on the codec information, you will see that Wikipedia says this: “H.264 is typically used for lossy compression, although it is also possible to create truly lossless-coded regions within lossy-coded pictures or to support rare use cases for which the entire encoding is lossless.” so except in the most rare case, h264 is lossy.
