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.

Every time I see someone film vertically I send them this YT video /watch?v=xL23Xvv1Pis (was not sure if I’m allowed to post links here). I just think it’s a brilliant and underappreciated parody.

TBF I kind of got used to portrait videos but I still block YT shorts and alike as most videos in that format are garbage anyways.

I’ve seen links to videos in a lot of community posts, so we should be fine.

Also, funny video, thanks for sharing!

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Thanks, I always forget that piped exists as I’m not used to it yet. Will try to post piped links directly next time.

edit: and will also try to not respond to bots :D
