View submission: What we’re working on this year
What part do we hate? Is it whenever you open a video that the post is in this stupid format or the issue that videos/gifs on desktop sometimes are just a still image that doesn't even have a playbutton or bar instead of a videoplayer, making you think that it's not even a video?
Because on both desktop and mobile it has different problems and I hate both.

On desktop, the two main issues are when videos play but drop in quality two seconds in, into a 180p pixelated garbage.
The other is the inconsistency where clicking anywhere in the frame sometimes acts as a play/pause like many other player formats, other times it opens the post itself and loads an entirely new page with no way of knowing which will happen.

On mobile, it is way worse. Videos freeze, take a long time to load and sometimes don't even show anything, just blank black screen.
