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.
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

In short, a no-nonsense normal video player without a profit motive.
pornhub is p2p?

tbh pornhub is p2p (porn to person)
For what it’s worth, PH is better than YT in most regards now, I feel.
