I don't use Poast so much these days because frankly, it's unusable. Every time I'm scrolling the main timeline, I click a video, I get to watch 5 seconds before the timeline loads 20 more posts in, shoves the content I was watching out of view, forces me to scroll to find it again, and when I do and inevitably click "play" again, it happens all over again. So unless I remember to open each and every single post I want to interact with in a new tab, I never get to see anything.
It's *infuriating* from a usability standpoint. Never seen a social media website do this.
old.poa.st used to be a stopgap solution, but now that's gone, so it's just nonstop loading trash. FIX IT!
Included below - video of this happening in real time. I'm not doing this. Poast is doing it automatically for some insane reason.
