Their video player is probably one of the worst I've experienced. It [1] requires me to hit play twice to get a video to actually play almost 100% of the time. [2] the audio frequently defaults to max, then adjusts to the level I've previously selected. [3] It frequently auto plays if I've scrolled down the feed a ways, and [4] frequently only plays 50% of the video and restarts or locks up.

Plus it's DASH, so you can't just link to an mp4 file with combined video/audio streams to avoid the interface.
I thought playing videos in a browser was a solved problem ever since <video> was introduced, many years ago.
