Announcement Pilot Project: Video Comments for Approved Users

Hello everyone!

This is just a quick post to let you know that we've recently enabled Approved Users to comment videos within posts. If you are an approved user, you would have received a mod mail from us, so if you didn't receive a mod mail saying you're an approved user at any point in time, well, then you're not an approved user and you won't be able to partake in this pilot.

If you like to be an approved user/take part in this pilot, please send us a mod mail and we will do our checks to make sure you'd be a good fit to have a little more freedom.

We're doing 2 phases. 1st phase we're going to trial it for 2 weeks, until July 17th. If successful and it doesn't cause problems, then we'll move on to phase 2.

Phase 2, we'll roll out the feature to everyone, then closely monitor it for another 2 weeks until July 31st. If the full 4 weeks produce very little to no problems, then we will make this feature permanent for everyone.

Our point of enabling video comments is to just standardize media options with Reddit as a whole, as many subs have it enabled and I think video comments would be helpful for the "fix my gun" type posts.

Thanks everyone!

Test video. Don't have any gun range clips on my phone (I do on my PC, but I'm away), so here is a Police LiDAR speed "gun" clip instead lol.

That’s pretty cool, what do the numbers mean?

Top is range (in metres), bottom is speed (in km/h). Dude was cruising 110 in a 60 😆

I initially thought that, but wasn’t sure what the bottom was because there was no way someone was cruising at 110 in in a 60 in the middle of the day.
