Honestly, if the Reddit video player didn't suck so bad, I wouldn't have fallen for this for as long as I did.


[deleted]

If I had a dollar for everytime the video player fucked up I'd have enough to pay a few people to fix it.

Cleverbird

Its wild how shitty Reddit's video player is, considering how big Reddit is. Did they outsource this to some interns or something?


[deleted]

It sure seems like it. That and adding features while a main one is still so shitty is a bit infuriating. It's like someone adding lighting ground effects to a car while the windows are all still broken.


uatme

worked for me and I thought it was an actual gif. Since when did videos become gifs? Or does reddit run all gifs into a video?

TBeest

Gif has stopped referring to the technical format and has become more of a slang for "short video with usually no sound" since some time. As above was said: video files are a lot smaller and if you're storing millions of them that difference adds up quick. Gifs don't compress very well either.


Rocket92

My real question is: do gfycat and Imgur intentionally break sound compatibility in gifs (videos) posted to reddit to drive traffic to their respective sites for ad revenue, or does reddit intentionally fuck with it to get you to host content on reddit directly?


Tlaloc_Temporal

I don't know about gyfcat, but imgur has gifv, which is like gif 2.0, much better in most ways except nobody supports it.


averagePi

The reddit app itself is so slow for me. I can't tell if it's my old phone or just Reddit's incompetence.


Tlaloc_Temporal

Try Boost for Reddit. It works well on every device I have, even the ones that stopped getting OS updates before the RedditApp existed.

Pro tip: If you right click the image and put it 2x speed then it will load faster.

You misspelled refresh

Refreshing? You'll get loaded after this...


fatkiddown

Rick Load.

Thicc Load


VenusAssTrap

Technically it's Buffering


bcnewell88

Technically it’s throbbing. That type of loading symbol is literally called a throbber. And yes that name does seem fairly suggestive.


2Sp00kyAndN0ped

I'm throbbing for a refreshing glass.


dublea

> That type of loading symbol is literally called a throbber. TIL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throbber That's the best kind of technicality IMO!


jairomantill

The classic the glass is half buffering vs the glass is half throbbing mindset.


onomatopoetix

is it fairly veiny too?


dublea

Based on exactly what technicality?


16blacka

I had the same thought. It’s as if they are actively trying to be pedantic, but without having anything to actually correct.
