Reddit already wasn’t a video feed

Not disagreeing with this, but users are all about whatever is easiest. With Reddit, they don't need to click a link (most of the time) to watch a video and instead can just scroll, and watch. So it's not really a "video feed", but it still had an easy way to view videos.

Hopefully we see similar here, as that would draw a bigger audience IMO. I understand the storage limitations currently, but there are ways to embed videos from other platforms, this wouldn't be as ideal (ads, modules, etc), but I think would be something that draws a lot of the video-lurking crowd.
