View submission: Addressing the new video player
One major issue that many people (including me) have with the video player is that it has a completely different swipe functionality compared to images. The video player does not swipe left or right to move between posts and instead uses up or down. It cannot swipe to image posts. When swiped either up or down, it loads a completely unrelated video that is impossible to find on the main page and is sometimes days or weeks old. Will changes be made so that it at least loads the next video in the page? Or make it such that it merely changes the interface of the previous one while allowing to swipe left or right to move between image and video posts like the old one allowed?

We totally get that the gestures are a bit awkward in our new player. We are actively working with our design and product team to make interactions simpler and more intuitive. Stay tuned!

The whole layout and interface is different.
REDDIT BRING BACK THE OLD PLAYER
The entire design is fucked it is broken no matter what they do to “fix it” when they could just go back to the perfectly fucking fine player.
They are just causing problems snd fixing the problems they created without ever addressing the fundamental problem that the new player is shit at its core. The interface is aweful the player is shit all around and the old player is superior in every way and much easier to use for everyone so this post is complete bullshit.
They should be ashamed
