View submission: Addressing the new video player
Honestly, my biggest gripe about the video player is the card-style UI for the comments. I hate having to slide the card up to hide the video and see the comments full screen. And even then I still have the top of the card taking up screen real estate. I miss the video minimizing automatically as I scrolled through the comments. Now it’s multiple swipes for what used to be a simple gesture.

This, THIS is the comment I was looking for (and if you hadn’t said it, I’d of said it myself). It’s so painfully, distractingly ugly. Look, I have ADHD, it really doesn’t take much to distract me already, but that thing is a pain. Nevermind the animation when you click on a video to open it up in the first place, the longer stutter inbetween.
I also can’t stand that when I swipe to another video it doesn’t play the next one in the sub, or on whatever page I’m on. This is a huge problem I have with Reddit in the past year or so, quit trying to force new crap on me.
The clutter in my feed from videos (yeah I consider them clutter now because I cannot open one to laugh for a quick minute I’m usually too busy being annoyed at the high) and from ‘suggested subs’ is bugging the ever loving fuck out of me. It’s to the point where I’ll be trying to figure out how the hell something I either completely Don’t care about or hate shows up in my feed I’ve tried hard to curate, and the second I see ‘we thought you might like this’ or anything along those lines I get annoyed. I get having a discover tab, but Don’t bring that into my custom feed that’s the whole point.
