We all remember videos used to fully load if you just left them be. Youtube sure, but also every other web player used to load the whole video if you left it loading. And now, it only ever loads 10 seconds so if you have bad connection you can never watch uninterrupted.
I understand maybe that one company stopped doing that because they messed up, but all of them? I really can’t understand how ALL webplayer companies on the planet decided to make their product worse and there is NO competitor who goes back to the old ways and with that would probably win a ton of market share again.
​
Why does nobody just build an old web player that everybody loves? Why do we have to live with a worse product and no alternatives?

It saves a **lot** of money because loading video you’re not going to watch doesn’t happen anymore, and the number of people bothered by this is, is low enough to not be a problem.
