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...
maybe I'm missing out because I don't watch content on pornhub, but how good does a video player need to be? it's a video player, seems like a solved problem to me.
Iirc PH was first with the thumbnail pop up when hovering over the timeline. They also had the "waveform" thing of where users watched the most. Sure a video player is just a video player. But all the extra features like changing quality, playback speed, buffering tech, subtitles, and so much more really add up to a better experience.
