Youtube quality getting Worse?

Hi, I'm a music video director shooting with a Canon 60D and a Sigma 30mm 1.4 . I upload all of my videos to Youtube because its the most popular sight, lately though I've noticed that my videos when uploaded to Youtube are looking fuzzier at 360p then they used to look. I haven't changed my workflow as far as how I shoot, compress, edit, and export. I posted an example of two of my videos below, one that shows sharper on youtube, and another that seems as if its losing sharpness when played at 360p. The videos are identical in quality when played at 720 or 1080p, but only differ at 360. Please take a look and let me know what issues you think I might be having. I edit on FCP by the way...


Good Quality at 360p

Bad Quality at 360p

The second link just doesn't seem as sharp anymore when played at 360. I know some more info may be needed in order to help me out, so if anyone has any ideas feel free to drop a line. THX
