Dueling protests in Minneapolis over ICE’s presence in city

Ugh, have you seen these new video players? So much bloatware They need to include like 10 extra files just for styling and animations lol. And don't even get me started on the metadata - who thought it was a good idea to have separate audio tracks for every little thing? It's just so overkill. I mean, can't we just simplify things for once? Like, what's with this 'tracklist' element that only lists video titles? Can't we just have a simple playlist or something? And why do they need a live news feed icon just cluttering up the place? Just give me a decent video player and let me enjoy my content in peace .

Ugh man I remember when we used to watch those super old VHS tapes at home ... now we've got this fancy video player thingy and it's all about playing vids online. The thumbnails look so cool though, like something out of a Matrix movie . I'm glad they included the tracklist, makes it easier to find the episode you're looking for. And that live news feed icon is pretty neat too... reminds me of when we used to watch CNN on our old CRT TV at school . Anyway, I guess this new tech is here to stay now... not sure if I'm excited or just nostalgic for the good ol' days

omg u gotta wonder what kind of website or app would need such advanced coding like, i get it we wanna watch vids online but do they really need that much setup?! anyway i think its cool how techy ppl can make these video players work seamlessly its like magic to us non-techies

umm so like what's with all these extra elements? is it necessary to have so many separate things for just a video player? like, can't they just stick with one element that does everything? i mean i get it, different audio tracks and all that jazz but can't we simplify this?

and what's up with the news-now thingy? is that some sort of live update or something? how does it work? and why would you want to display a live news feed on a video player? doesn't make sense, right?

i'm also curious about the javascript and css files. are they just for styling or is there some kind of animation going on here? do people actually care about animations on video players?
