New video player is absolute trash. It has no advantages other than getting in the way and being as disruptive and annoying as possible. This isn't TikTok, the platform isn't built that way, it doesn't work. It just feels forced (which it is) to get in 4 years late on the hype train of this terrible format. It doesn't look good, nor does it function properly. It's just 100% hot garbage. I honestly don't know how this ever got approved, it just removes any ease of use to the platform. Still bad.
