View submission: Addressing the new video player
I hope you reconsider not having pause and scrub controls when you’re not viewing a video full screen. Oftentimes Im scrolling through my feed and I want to pause or re-watch a clip without having it take up my entire screen. (NSFW content comes to mind, but not exclusively). Removing functionality doesn’t make sense to me. It sounds like you’re needlessly complicating things.

One last comment, and I’m going to bed. Please get rid of the award animations whenever a video goes full screen. That shit is so fucking distracting and unnecessary. It just gets in the way of the video I’m trying to watch. At least give me a way to disable it. And can the interactive buttons (upvote, downvote, comment, etc.) be place horizontally under the video? It makes no sense why they should be placed vertically, counter to how every other piece of content behaves in the app. Also, the scrubber should be higher on the screen. Having it on the bottom is uncomfortable and it messes with the home swipe on my iPhone. Lastly tap to pause. Can you please bring back just tapping on the screen to pause?
