View submission: Found Reddit video player source code
Jokes aside, Reddit videos plays fine in HQ for a few seconds, and then it literately goes to 1 FPS and extremely hard-compressed blocky quality at something that looks like 72p. And I mean 1 FPS literately -- the "video" updates one time per second.
It is incredible that the "world largest website" has such big technical issues.

Yeah, what's with that? On desktop I don't have freezes or stutters, but exactly halfway into every video the quality tanks. It's like clockwork, and it's been like that for *years.* Embarrassing.

It's almost as if having a top notch video distribution system for streaming is not an easy thing! Who would have known! Maybe that's why nobody is threatening YouTube...
