A friend sent me the link but I guess I’ll have to tell him to send me screenshots in the future.

old.reddit still lets me view it. For now…

    To be fair, its been shit for a real long time.

    We all just put up with it far longer than we should have.

      Yeah. From when I first joined reddit to until I left, I’ve never ever seen the video player actually fucking working. It’s like a McDonalds ice cream machine, always broken.

        At least there’s a reason for McDonald’s ice cream machines not working, even if it is blatant and disgusting corporate greed from Taylor Company.

            Meeh, nothing new, service menus with the full picture have been around for decades. Just download a warezed service manual for your product and you can fix it yourself.

            Same thing is happening with printers and every other piece of hardware out there that runs any kind of software on it.

            We’ve seen this behavior throught history numerous time, keeping it in the family I mean, this is nothing new. As long as people keep bying food in McDonalds and complaining how McDonalds made their son/daughter cry, they’ll keep pushing their shitty products. My son starts crying over no ice cream… son, I’m sorry, but even the king doesn’t eat something that’s not available, get used to it, that’s life.

        I never understood why people complained about this. Reddit videos always worked fine for me in RiF. Then I found out they don’t work in the official app. WTF?

          They don’t work in the official app or the mobile web browser.

            They do in safari and old Reddit, albeit the loading times slowed way down in the last week or two

        It worked just fine in Infinity and on a desktop browser, never in the official Reddit app. But I guess Reddit couldn’t stand the fact that a free, ad-free app worked better than the official app.
        Also Lemmy loads WAY faster than Reddit these days

          I used Infinity too, and video worked fine in it. Well up until they killed it
