Fix the video player

To add some mobile specifics:
If I'm on mobile and click on a video, when I swipe up/down I shouldn't get a random video. I should get the rest of the posts or videos from the feed I was on, whether that's on the homepage or a specific subreddit.
Right now if I want that functionality I have to first open an image, and only at that point can I swipe right/left between videos and images in my feed.
It's so dumb to seek out an image in my feed to swipe through the videos in my feed, but that's the way it works right now.

Yeah I'm surprised it's taking them so long to figure out how to stop it from crashing and not work, then crashing the app altogether.
In a way they are competing against YouTube, tiktok, twitch and pornhub and it should be a #1 priority

It's actually impressive how much a large tech company can fuck something as simple as a video player in 2022. Literally just doesn't work like half the time

Try disabling the autoplay. It fixed my problems.

What’s wrong with it (besides the fact that it keeps pausing my music that’s playing)?

Yeah if the videos could load as fast as the ads that'd be great...
