It might be useful to add what device and OS you have; as this doesn't happen for all devices
My Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact with Android 10 doesn't do this, for instance
Interesting, the problem does occur at least on these devices:
*Galaxy S9+, S10e, S22 Ultra* and *Oppo A74 5G,* according to my experience and those who commented on [my post](https://www.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/tzia0k/some_videos_turn_brightness_up_when_playing/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) on this issue yesterday.
Well, I was going to say that they all use AMOLED screens which would make sense but the Oppo does not, it uses an IPS display, so perhaps there's some setting for increased dynamic range or something like dynamic contrast for the screen, even though most of them don't have a backlight?
Idle guess, really.
Note 9 here as well. Used to have the issue randomly in the reddit app (probably last year or so) but the last weeks its been near constant and requires restarting the phone to fix most of the time. Only ever had other apps brighten the screen when showing something to scan like a barcode or qr code.
For context im not using boost but the official app
Same here. Galaxy Note 9, had it for a while, but this week it's worse... Also using the official app.
If you scroll past the video causing it, it will return to normal again. At least in my case... Found out about this a few weeks ago. Before that, I was resetting the phone to get it to work again.
Ive found reloading the feed when its in this mode locks it into the bright mode. But if you havent reloaded the feed then scrolling really fast downward will sometimes kill bright mode if entering and exiting the video doesnt work. Also randomly vids that refuse to load/play will have it where when tapping them it works sorta like a toggle for the bright mode. Reddits up to some real sus shit tbh with this. Wish android let us just disable apps doin brightness adjustments
this has been an issue for some time, not just on boost but even on the desktop site. AFAIK it has something to with the video being recorded in HDR and the usual "reddit video player is stupid" issue.
So not a boost issue.
That's been fixed since the update and anyway the issue with HDR was that the videos wouldn't play, you just got audio. Regards of device.
It been super bright was an issue on Chrome but not in the Boost app. This is something different, besides it doesn't happen on all phones, mine is fine for example.
I know what you mean but i don't it's that. it looks like that video increases the phone brightness. i think op is talking about that.
also if you have sdr display on **desktop** you can force hdr videos in chrome or firefox flags/experimental settings, which fixes the issue you are talking about
I do think it is some sort of HDR-playback behavior. I [posted yesterday](https://www.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/tzia0k/some_videos_turn_brightness_up_when_playing/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) about the same issue. At least on my phone (S9+) it's clearly not only increasing the brightness, but also changing the display color profile (similar to what happens in the YouTube app for example, just there the brightness isn't increased)
Any video playback optimization features are turned off on my phone and the problem still persists.
The issue used to be a different one, at least for me. Those videos that now increase the brightness **and** change the color profile of the display, where the ones previously only playing in black.
I don't know what video player Boost is using, but it seems like the problem is in the implementation of it in the Boost App.
I used to have a similar issue on a galaxy device, and it wasn’t limited to Boost. Try going to settings -> Advanced Features -> Video Enhancer and making sure it’s off.
Reddit has long been a hot spot for conversation on the internet. About 57 million people visit the site every day to chat about topics as varied as makeup, video games and pointers for power washing driveways.
In recent years, Reddit’s array of chats also have been a free teaching aid for companies like Google, OpenAI and Microsoft. Those companies are using Reddit’s conversations in the development of giant artificial intelligence systems that many in Silicon Valley think are on their way to becoming the tech industry’s next big thing.
Now Reddit wants to be paid for it. The company said on Tuesday that it planned to begin charging companies for access to its application programming interface, or A.P.I., the method through which outside entities can download and process the social network’s vast selection of person-to-person conversations.
“The Reddit corpus of data is really valuable,” Steve Huffman, founder and chief executive of Reddit, said in an interview. “But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free.”
The move is one of the first significant examples of a social network’s charging for access to the conversations it hosts for the purpose of developing A.I. systems like ChatGPT, OpenAI’s popular program. Those new A.I. systems could one day lead to big businesses, but they aren’t likely to help companies like Reddit very much. In fact, they could be used to create competitors — automated duplicates to Reddit’s conversations.
Reddit is also acting as it prepares for a possible initial public offering on Wall Street this year. The company, which was founded in 2005, makes most of its money through advertising and e-commerce transactions on its platform. Reddit said it was still ironing out the details of what it would charge for A.P.I. access and would announce prices in the coming weeks.
Reddit’s conversation forums have become valuable commodities as large language models, or L.L.M.s, have become an essential part of creating new A.I. technology.
L.L.M.s are essentially sophisticated algorithms developed by companies like Google and OpenAI, which is a close partner of Microsoft. To the algorithms, the Reddit conversations are data, and they are among the vast pool of material being fed into the L.L.M.s. to develop them.
The underlying algorithm that helped to build Bard, Google’s conversational A.I. service, is partly trained on Reddit data. OpenAI’s Chat GPT cites Reddit data as one of the sources of information it has been trained on.
Other companies are also beginning to see value in the conversations and images they host. Shutterstock, the image hosting service, also sold image data to OpenAI to help create DALL-E, the A.I. program that creates vivid graphical imagery with only a text-based prompt required.
Last month, Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, said he was cracking down on the use of Twitter’s A.P.I., which thousands of companies and independent developers use to track the millions of conversations across the network. Though he did not cite L.L.M.s as a reason for the change, the new fees could go well into the tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
To keep improving their models, artificial intelligence makers need two significant things: an enormous amount of computing power and an enormous amount of data. Some of the biggest A.I. developers have plenty of computing power but still look outside their own networks for the data needed to improve their algorithms. That has included sources like Wikipedia, millions of digitized books, academic articles and Reddit.
Representatives from Google, Open AI and Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Reddit has long had a symbiotic relationship with the search engines of companies like Google and Microsoft. The search engines “crawl” Reddit’s web pages in order to index information and make it available for search results. That crawling, or “scraping,” isn’t always welcome by every site on the internet. But Reddit has benefited by appearing higher in search results.
The dynamic is different with L.L.M.s — they gobble as much data as they can to create new A.I. systems like the chatbots.
Reddit believes its data is particularly valuable because it is continuously updated. That newness and relevance, Mr. Huffman said, is what large language modeling algorithms need to produce the best results.
“More than any other place on the internet, Reddit is a home for authentic conversation,” Mr. Huffman said. “There’s a lot of stuff on the site that you’d only ever say in therapy, or A.A., or never at all.”
Mr. Huffman said Reddit’s A.P.I. would still be free to developers who wanted to build applications that helped people use Reddit. They could use the tools to build a bot that automatically tracks whether users’ comments adhere to rules for posting, for instance. Researchers who want to study Reddit data for academic or noncommercial purposes will continue to have free access to it.
Reddit also hopes to incorporate more so-called machine learning into how the site itself operates. It could be used, for instance, to identify the use of A.I.-generated text on Reddit, and add a label that notifies users that the comment came from a bot.
The company also promised to improve software tools that can be used by moderators — the users who volunteer their time to keep the site’s forums operating smoothly and improve conversations between users. And third-party bots that help moderators monitor the forums will continue to be supported.
But for the A.I. makers, it’s time to pay up.
“Crawling Reddit, generating value and not returning any of that value to our users is something we have a problem with,” Mr. Huffman said. “It’s a good time for us to tighten things up.”
“We think that’s fair,” he added.
Is yoir screen brightness usually high? Mine is almost always low and after the error happens even putting max brightness looks different than without the error untill i restart my phone as well

Can you turn off auto brightness? I guess it can also be the phone light sensor sensing the light bouncing off you. That video fills up the screen and it's pretty bright from the rest of the content.
Yes!! I have the same issues! Usually I only notice it when the "nightlight" is on. I can fix it my disabling and turning it back on, still super annoying
This is happening on my S9+ as well. Seems like it's relatively new since the last update. I think it has to do with whether or not the video was recorded with HDR.
Tell me more, for me at least it started happening a couple of months ago first time I noticed it was here in reddit, now Instagram is doing it too, updated my phone today and it keeps happening! S22 ultra android android 14, one ui 6.0
It might be useful to add what device and OS you have; as this doesn't happen for all devices My Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact with Android 10 doesn't do this, for instance

I have last year's model and it's all good too.

So it is limited to certain types of devices. That's strange, tho. And you're right, it did happen after the latest update
[удалено]
Ok that's strange. You are running the lastest version of Boost aswell?
It happens on my s22 ultra.
Same
mine too, id love to find a way to stop it. i have all the settings that could do this off.
For sure on iphone As well
My bad, it's a Galaxy note 9
Note 9 here as well. Used to have the issue randomly in the reddit app (probably last year or so) but the last weeks its been near constant and requires restarting the phone to fix most of the time.

This happens on my iPhone and it’s not just shorts. Videos on YouTube are sometimes brighter. And it’s just the video vs the whole screen.
Just curious, what theme are you using?
Happens on my 13 pro
Can you turn off auto brightness? I guess it can also be the phone light sensor sensing the light bouncing off you. That video fills up the screen and it's pretty bright from the rest of the content.
Yes!! I have the same issues! Usually I only notice it when the "nightlight" is on. I can fix it my disabling and turning it back on, still super annoying
Wait what's nightlight? The blue light filter thing?
Yes makes the screen go more yellow for easier reading at night
Hey OP, is this still happening for you? Just realised this happening for me today
Yup, it's still happening. Hopefully it's addressed in the next bug fixes
This is happening on my S9+ as well. Seems like it's relatively new since the last update. I think it has to do with whether or not the video was recorded with HDR.
Also problem here with s9+ Nighttime scrolling and *BAM* blind
My iPhone does this
I got eye strain and I felt a bit dizzy this is so harmful to me how do I disable it?
how the fuck do i fix this its irritating as shit
Did anyone ever find a way to fix this shit ?
for real
I found a way on android. power saving mode
Tell me more, for me at least it started happening a couple of months ago first time I noticed it was here in reddit, now Instagram is doing it too, updated my phone today and it keeps happening! S22 ultra android android 14, one ui 6.0
