Most people don’t do that. The format of the videos is going to adjust to its public. Short videos meant for TikTok, stories or shorts, are going to have a vertical format because that’s the way most people will enjoy them.
Is it that people enjoy it, or is it that these shit platforms are shovelling it en masse so people are forced to adopt it? There is nearly 0 need for vertical videos
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.
A platform like tiktok would be really shitty with horizontal videos. It’s clearly a platform designed around vertical videos and people enjoy it, it works just fine.
Wierd, I find 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 at 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.
Moat of these platforms are not recording things that benefit from horizontal recording. It’s not a cinematic shot, they are not making movies.
Take into account that the content on this platforms tend to be personal videos. A person talking, dancing, something like that. It’s a type of videos that get fits better in a vertical format anyway.
We all have read the copypasta about vertical videos back in 2002 but times have changed.
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.
