1366x768, the most popular resolution, is being ignored

As of January 2013, 1366x768 resolution is, by far, the most common.

And it's being ignored.

Youtube, for instance, doesn't render their videos at 1366px horizontal. I think they should, even if it will cost Google additional resources.

What do you guys think?

1366x768 and every other pixel specific resolution can die in a fire and should be ignored by everyone. Design for aspect ratios and pixel densities and stop creating problems.

That resolution is tied with 1280x800 for us. Your mileage will vary. Responsive designs with media queries is the best method for general, public-facing website.
