create opportunities for better video ads

and there it is.

For those of you asking why we changed the video player in the first place, the short answer is to make it better

For you and advertisers, not us.

Remember how popular Facebook was until it wasn't? Facebook got in the way and the feedback fell on deaf ears because they were to busy trying to optimize for ads.

Your one true job as a platform is to get out the dam way so we can get to the content that we create.

As some of you know, Reddit currently maintains up to 10 different video players across different platforms and contexts.

Wtf are you doing?! Why bother with all that? Just let videos hand off to the native player for each platform, job done.

In short, if you really must push this shit then just give us a toggle for "Use native video player" so we can get back the video content that we create and love.

No one is excited about trying being the next TicTok except you and your ad customers.

I think it’s funny that this is the only top comment they haven’t responded to.

Fully agree with having the option of the toggle for the native vid player. Also I won't be surprised if video ads wont get the new piece of shit vid player.

Ain’t it suspicious how this is the only top comment seemingly the admins haven’t commented on?
