The uploader saves bandwidth and time when encoding/saving, uploading video at a lower video quality setting and resolution, so if you want to be one of the early people to upload a new news story, uploading a video at 144-240p or lower resolution can make your video publish faster.
Viewers who watch your video will save time, and bandwidth data when watching your video in 144-240P and lower video resolution. 144-240p video maybe good for those videos which are mostly audio based, and display a picture, or solid color for the whole video or most of the video.
I think low quality 144-240p video also has a retro visual quality which makes the video look like someone is using their cheap webcam, digital camera or smartphone camera to record someone or something. Using low quality video settings for online video could be good if you plan on making a retro 1990-2005 style film where many people used webcams, and low megapixel digital cameras on flip phones and 2 mega pixel digital cameras to record video.
