  Some of the videos are on Reddit, Twitter, or Instagram. They don’t work well when shared elsewhere.

  I want to download the video and reupload it in a better place

    You can get the url of the .mp4 file from reddit if you add .json to the url.

    There are even web extensions that extract it for you

    I think Reddit works? Instagram and Twitter don’t though. I liked the Twitter mirrors for that, since you could hot link their videos, but I think they all got shut down.

      Even if Reddit works at the moment, it might not soon, as they are enshittifying at a very rapid pace.

      Reddit video player is terrible though and linking to it requires you to load their bloated New Reddit web pages. Most of us came here to get away from Reddit.

        I thought if you liked the source in the post it embedded directly, rather than using reddit’s player? I’d agree just a link to the Reddit post wouldn’t be good.
