I stopped watching videos on NS since the new video format is on.

I log (used to log) on NS on a daily basis. I would do two things: post videos and, most importantly, watch videos.

With the advent of the new video format, I stopped doing the latter. I'll skip over the fact that it lags terribly and screws my internet most times I click to watch an edit. I guess that's my own problem.

But why is it sub-dividing videos into so many categories? When I want to watch the top rated edits (which is most of the time since I can't spend hours here), I want to watch the top rated edits. Not the best site-friendly edits, not the videos+embedded of the week.

Is this a permanent format or is it going to come back to a more user-friendly, less time consuming one? Am I the only lazy guy who's bothere by having to filter edits all the time?

I forgot that detail, it was a 20 minute video and I gotta admit it's not everybody who wants to embed that long edits..

It's a tad off topic but, I'm gonna go ahead and back this up. Youtube and vimeo do have this feature (pretty insignificant, however convenient.) Like if you were going through vids of the day/week/month the prompted thumbnails could be other vids of the day/week/month. And if you went through users vids, the prompted ones would be other users vids. So on and so forth with the different video categories we have.

While i'm here... I also think that choosing your own thumbnail for a video would be sweet. Oh and the progress bar at the bottom of the videos- could we make those more similar to youtube? Vimeo doesn't offer that feature. Ex- I wanted to show the ending seg of the new LOS video, but my internet was being shitty and i had to load the whole movie before i could jump around the bar and skip ahead.

I know this shit's obviously not easy/important. But just food for thought on what could really put NS ahead.
