View submission: Found Reddit video player source code
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.

Yep I barely watch videos on desktop because of this. Tho I use a 3rd party app for reddit on my phone since the media player plays properly.

Same. I think it is after x seconds. Then quality changes from good to porridge, with no way to fix it.
I have a damn gigabit connection all to myself, wo it should be handle a *little* more than a 120p video stream compressed to shit.
