View submission: Updated Android Video Player

Totally understand. There are a ton of improvements we need to make to the video player. As mentioned in the post, we are working to unify the many video players across the Reddit mobile apps. We are also working to improve the video player for everyone and in a way that enables us to make changes quickly – and if you (or anyone) are interested in joining Reddit’s video team, check out our career page here[1]!

Make it optional, let us turn it off, I beg of you

I know it's possible, because every ad still uses the old video player

Revert it now. This player is terrible, can't interact with video without full screen, no direct link to comments/replies. Also I can't read text in dark mode you this needs to be fixed asap

If you knew everyone dislikes the new video player and it needs to be improved, why the fuck did you release it on Android anyway?

Nobody in on this entire app/website asked for a carbon copy of tik toks UI. Its not better than the last, its inconvenient and clunky.

We despise it fuck right off with that bullshit and put the actual good ones back

We have multiple subreddits dedicated to hating it the UU is unusable, the thing out prioritises everything just by existing and it makes using this app more painful

I don’t care about your precious advertisers they can fall into an active volcano for all I give a shot you are beholden to your users and if they don’t like what’s happening you will probably end up starving on the streets

Why is Reddit unifying the video players into something worse than all the video player versions before. No one wants a crappy tiktok clone.

"There are a ton of improvements we need to make" so why did you release it without making them?

Unify my left and right testicles, this player sucks 'em both. Might as well suck two nuts with one mouth.

You didn't have to redo the entire thing, nobody asked for this they just wanted the original player fixed. Also super unprofessional that you're being snarky about criticism by asking him to apply if he doesn't like it.
