Comment on 10 years ago, a person would be insulted for filming a video in portrait instead of landscape. Now, old landscape videos are being cropped and resized to fit in a portrait player.

  the problem with that, and a big reason why it probably won’t be adapted, is that portrait mode shows you fuck all, it’s good for showing one person (you know like a portrait) but if you want to show multiple people you have so much deadspace top and bottom. Landscape is just aesthetically better

    Also, our freaking eyes are horizontal. There’s no way around that

        You’d still need landscape video.

  The Sero from Samsung back in 2020 is how it all started to go sideways.

  Or in this case, upways?

    I’d like to think the opposite of sideways is downways

      Was trying to be semi-funny based on how the screen changes orientation.

      You are probably right though.

        Oh, I was trying to build off of your joke by saying that the change from horizontal to vertical video is a downgrade haha
