First they remove community styles.
Then they remove the ability to preview posts.
Then they remove the perfectly fine basic formatting tools.
Then they remove the video controls while in fullscreen.
Now they remove the fullscreen button entirely(???).
They also removed volume control, only does muted or unmuted 🤡
Still working on some videos, but not on others.
What's next, removing sound completely? Removing colors, so videos are black and white only?
Oh, I know, remove all the controls and make the videos autoplay, without any way to pause, let alone going back and forth in the video. What is this youtube shorts cringe u/C just because big tech is being retarded, doesn't mean you have to copy their dog shit design.
Most people do not realize that those Twitter, Rumble, YouTube embeds are even more aggressive and taxing on delivering the site.. but the worst culprit is those links for other sites that show generalized content. Those require a go-between to aggregate the meta data then create an embed. They likely pay for that.
IMO ayh prefer the 4chan style forums where you can reply with images and video. Makes for better threads of data compiling. It is weird people mock reddit while basically being on another reddit :)
The problem with Reddit is the site culture, and the mods and admins in particular, not the tech or style of forum itself.
>embeds
Well, fuck embeds if they can't run without 100 megabytes of google analytics scripts, APIs and metadata. For a site like conpro all you need is uploaded mp4, like you said about 4chan, with support of conversion from a few common codecs, support for simple embeds hosted from file hosters and the rest with their gay and exotic shit can just fuck off lol.
>we went from a normal 16:9 to 9:16
Like I said, copying the cringe youtube shorts (tiktok) shit, conforming to lobotomized tiktok nigger brains lol.
To be fair, while youtube shorts still has the 9:16 and vertical scrolling shit, they did improve the video controls. And regular youtube also has added a bunch of cool and useful features to their player. But for a simple video player that isn't a whole damn website but just an mp4 player...
Just talking about the UI:
The standard firefox video player is a perfect example of simple design that works well:
* regular volume slider/mute
* regular fullscreen button
* esc to exit full screen
* Space = pause/play
* left/right arrows to go forward/backwards a few seconds
additionally maybe up/down arrows for volume.
If there is more stuff like options for video quality, play speed or captions, put them in a gear menu.
Doesn't need any more or less than that, but still seems to be like rocket science for web devs. Probably mostly indian and/or retards who all think they have to reinvent the wheel instead of considering conformity with expected behavior standards.
That sort of narrow mindedness is what makes leftists think people who post on /pol/ are cretins. Information comes from every where -- if you close your eyes to it -- then you only make yourself more foolish.
