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.

I don’t mind either way to watch something. But what really shits me is the vertical video that has added padding on the sides to view in landscape. Or the other way around. I can’t see anything when watching on my phone either way then.

Like it was impossible for websites to display properly. Especially when you want to watch the horizontal video that was uploaded to a vertical based site on a horizontal monitor (I’m looking at you, Instagram). Then you’re left with ~9% of your monitor area and you can’t even read the fucking text on the video.

I understand that you need to adapt when most people watch videos on phones now, but forcing people to install an app just to get all your user data is a pretty scummy move. Also, I may want to use my PC instead for a multitude of reasons.
