The sheer number of videos taken “the wrong way round” (for my computer’s monitor) is mind-boggling. I get that some people watch videos on their phones, but is it really that many?

    On my phone I prefer landscape though. I don’t watch any videos in portrait so I skip them. It’s no effort to flip the phone sideways lol…

      I think it’s about short-form vs long-form content.

      For casual short videos like TikTok or random shorts that scroll by in Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube, portrait makes sense because most people have their phone in that orientation.

      For long-form video, landscape is still the norm.
