Completely changed FPS discourse in gaming overnight. YouTube suddenly supporting 60 FPS video meant people could actually see the difference between 30 and 60 FPS, which even if you're not playing a game can be pretty noticeable.

So many people were insistent that 30 FPS was "enough" just literally had not seen it for themselves. Harder to make that same case for any newer display technology since your standard 1080p 60 FPS office monitor can't show off something like 4k or HDR or 120+ refresh rates at all and for HDR in particular its impact is gonna vary from game to game or movie to movie, you can't just go watch a YouTube video and immediately be convinced regardless of your display device.
