It's those compression artifacts and low resolution that can make something like that box blend in more easily. It's lack of realistic texture won't show through as much, except at a clean and higher resolution picture (assuming the raw footage has a higher resolution to begin with).

Ahem... I think you're fighting the wrong battle. Youtube compresses the video files from anywhere up to a gigabyte down to only about 20 mb. This actually allows the videos to be streamed. I doubt you'll be able to stream anything at 1080p height. If you want 1080p videos, then don't watch youtube stuff. Even 720px height isn't easy to stream from a server that easily gets hundreds of thousands of hits per day. Consider that not everything is going to be suited to your needs, nor any person's needs. They're suited to be of most efficiency to Youtube, and if they weren't, then Youtube wouldn't be around.
