    When everyone watches your content on a vertical screen, it simply makes sense.

    There was a time period before the modernization of video sharing apps when vertical video was annoying because it was primarily consumed on a PC. But that changed years ago.

    The only people still making the vertical video arguments haven’t reevaluated their stance in a decade, or don’t get out of the house much.

        When the video requires a wide view, yeah that makes sense. But only when required. Shouldn’t be the default since holding the phone that way isn’t the default. Simply makes sense.

            Holding the phone sideways by default? I’ve never seen anyone do that. My phone doesn’t even work like that.

                ?

                I’m in my 40s. I’ve had phones since the 90s. Only sideways by default ones I recall are some Moto and Sidekick or similar. And they weren’t really close to today’s video capability.

                What phone are you referring to that is sideways by default??
