> nothing will ever top YouTube's

A video player that doesn't make me wait a long time before going to full resolution,or that lets me select full resolution when I'll not on desktop, would be a huge plus for me.

In the last week goon to YouTube's site on mobile to watch videos has often been broken. Turning off my adblocker doesn't fix it. Going to the desktop site sometimes fixes it. Very off-putting.

And you know what I would kill for? A display of how long a video is before I play it. And maybe an indication of if it has sound.

I'll point out I don't use any apps and even on mobile I use the desktop site.

But YouTube seems to be getting slowly worse, which doesn't really surprise me. Imgur had DEFINITELY gotten WAY worse than even a year or so ago.

Good luck to Reddit. This may be a serious improvement.

Every youtube video thumbnail has that in the lower right corner.

Not on mobile. I don't see it until I start playing.

The mobile app absolutely has that.

I don't use the app. I mean in Safari.

When I click a link that takes me to YouTube I can't see it until I start playing.

There is vicious cycle with all image hosting services and Imgur(and Photobucket) has reached the last step:

1. Notice all other services are filled with ads and full of bloat

2. Create new, free and very simple image uploading site

3. Site gains popularity

4. Operating costs go through the roof

5. Try to monetize by adding ads or move to paid accounts

6. goto 1
