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. (lemmy.world)

the problem with that, and a big reason why it probably won't be adapted, is that portrait mode shows you fuck all, it's good for showing one person (you know like a portrait) but if you want to show multiple people you have so much deadspace top and bottom. Landscape is just aesthetically better

Also, our freaking eyes are horizontal. There's no way around that

You'd still need landscape video.
