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.

  Well that, and the fact that its a Chinese PsyOp to sow discord and manipulate people into ridiculous, insane behaviors.

  Everything is doing it already. Good luck watching a “horizontal” video uploaded to Instagram from your desktop browser.

    Why’d you use a Facebook piece of crap like instagram to begin with?

      I don’t use it actively (I’m not even logged in) but a good bunch of my friends keep sending me links. It would sound pretty mean if I just refused to open so many links to so many people on so many platforms (I consider TikTok even worse). I was talking about the phenomenon in general and brought up Instagram as an example.
