View submission: Addressing the new video player
To this end, we want to be upfront with you all and let you know that we are not going back to the old Reddit video player (please see the second paragraph in this post).
Thank you for being upfront about it, and the explainations.
Individual users may find one of the ten individual players they *like*, on the platform they *prefer*, and don't want to see it change in order to achieve parity (example: If I used my **X** brand phone with **Y** brand operating system, I might be really pissed if my perfectly satisfactory video player kept getting 'tweaked' in order to make it work for users on an inferior phone / OS) but it's in the long-term interest of the site as a whole, and sometimes it takes an Admin or devteam member to simply say so.

Thank you! I’m almost crying. What we’re hoping is that the new player is way more than “perfectly satisfactory” for only users on the latest and shiniest devices. As noted in the post, we’re pretty far from the mark here but working really hard on getting there. We love the open back and forth with y’all so you can keep us honest and pointed in the right direction.
