Vertical live streams? As in camera orientation? Vert videos will have this feature and horizontal won’t? Not knowing the intricacies of the content creator world, I don’t get why vertical vs horizontal should make any difference.
YouTube pushes whatever format feels popular to them at the time, like when they started giving absurd weight to shorts.
Even content creators that pretty much only do long, focussed videos started to hack useless bits of them to put in shorts as an aside, just because the algorithm would make their channel basically invisible without a few of them.
And then of course YouTube will prioritize those in all feeds, even if you’re watching on a fucking TV app.
If youtube starts the same kind of shit with vertical streaming, you can be sure they’re going to pop everywhere, no matter how fitting the format is.
The Streaming community Is completely unknowable to me. I would hazard a guess that vertical streaming is for smartphones and horizontal for TV/computer?
If I’m a painter, let’s say, and I’m live streaming myself painting a literal portrait one day, and a literal landscape the next day, I have to stream in portrait regardless in order to have access to certain aspects of the platform?

It’s new. That’s all. YouTube is just a Google skinsuit and Google prioritizes new over everything else.

That’s garbage.
