    I’m actually amazed by how the Pornhub and Xvideos players, after all this time, are still better than the Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok players, like it’s not even comparable. The way people can just accept whatever slop any corporate will feed them is just insane to me…

        • no ads or sponsor crap (sponsor only if sponsor is <5s and only at the start of vid)
        • buffering is efficient and quick
        • subtitles available in widescreen, small etc
        • can change volume and resolution
        • can be judged by community with a non-karma system
        • little to no algorithm or AI slop
        • can custom select videos (by date, popularity, tags, or whatever)
        • peer to peer, decentralised and FOSS
        • privacy friendly
        • can download, usable offline
        • none of that copyright bullshit

        In short, a no-nonsense normal video player without a profit motive.

            I think he was answering the question “how good does a video player need to be?”, because many of those points don’t apply to pornhub, which also goes more into the site behind it than the player proper
