I have a list of things this video ui has got wrong

• cant pause video in your feed.
• There are no video controls in feed.
• cant get to comments without video playing.
• cant scroll from one video to the next in subs, it will take you to another random video and sub
• cant click a video link in a comment string and press back because it takes you out of the post you were in where the link was.

The UI is ugly and invasive, taking away from the clean and immersive feel of just opening up videos.

my theory is they just wanted to get everyone familiar with how it works by forcing it on us for a little, that way when they change it back and we happen upon RPAN or whatever tik tok clone they create users will already be well acquainted with its UI and be more inclined to use it
