Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private

It’s far more comfortable to watch vertical videos in a phone instead of having to rotate it constantly for each video.
It’s also more comfortable to record videos vertically using a phone, which makes a direct translation to post a vertical video in a platform that’s phone oriented.

Wierd, I fing it equally comfortable to hold the phone in either orientation, but way easier to record when holding the phone horizontally since I can get more in the shot st once. As an added bonus, I can also enjoy it just as well (or more) on a regular screen. Again, vertical videos are a waste.

This is only because you are a person of culture, taste, and good upbringing. It’s unrewarding to argue with these ignorant peons who somehow have been brainwashed to believe vertical is in any way OK.

Moat of these platforms are not recording things that benefit from horizontal recording.
Take into account that the content on this platforms tend to be personal videos. A person talking, dancing, something like that.
We all have read the copypasta about vertical videos back in 2002 but times have changed.

Times haven’t changed, and vertical videos are still a pointless waste of time and space.
Dancing I guess might make sense if the person is dancing in place, but realistically if it can be shot vertically you should ask “is this really even worth recoding?” Chances are the answer is “no”.
There is almost 0 need for vertical videos.
