It’s because we didn’t shame them hard enough. Now look where we are.
Fuck tiktok/shorts
I’m STILL insulted. Portrait videos suck to look at.
Yeah… Well… So do you! ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪
i still judge people who film in portrait tbh. I can’t stand vertical videos, it’s the main reason i never made a tiktok.
And often it’s not even a tiktok thing, it’s just laziness and/or forgetting to rotate.
Hell, even Tiktok allows horizontal videos, even instructs you to turn the screen if it’s vertical!
Their children’s eyes will grow closer and closer together from one generation to another until no one has depth perception past the front of their face. /s
Is this why people find Anya Taylor-Joy attractive?
No, that’s because she IS attractive and you are being weird, shitty and judgmental. Like you’re allowed to have whatever beauty preferences you want, but idk why you are going out of your way to call her unattractive.
Anya Taylor-Joy
Her eyes are too far apart and her head is oddly proportioned to her chin. She isn’t UGLY or anything but she isn’t that attractive.
Vertical videos are the work of Satan
I still think landscape video and portrait video are two completely different beasts, and one should not be converted into the other.
I don’t mind either way to watch something. But what really shits me is the vertical video that has added padding on the sides to view in landscape. Or the other way around. I can’t see anything when watching on my phone either way then.
On one hand, most of them are just selfies anyway, so portrait mode makes sense to frame the only subject and thing worth looking at. It also is easier to watch on a phone held with just one hand.
On the other, if you’re taking shots of the landscape put that fucking shit in landscape mode. Please.
I wouldn’t mind quite so much if it was because the people filming that way believed it looked better. But the real reason is usually because they are too dumb to think of turning their phone on its side.
Sometimes tall things fit better in a vertical frame.
Sometimes wide things fit better in a horizontal frame.But most of the time this isnt even thought about when taking the shot.
The horizontal display is meant to reflect our natural vision which is also a horizontal aspect ratio. There are niche scenarios like skyscrapers but the vast majority of the time it’s correct to stay horizontal and frame the shot properly.
Non-landscape videos give me mental discomfort.
I still don’t like vertical videos. My natural field of view is landscape and portrait feels crowded and stressful. Also vertical videos have to be watched 2-3 times to see everything, because the person filming has to pan the camera so much, and they usually move too quickly. It’s like everyone forgot that a phone can be rotated.
That’s not recent…
Black bars get added to both formats often, sometimes back and forth until the video is a tiny rectangle and 90% useless black space
And people still talk shit about when someone used the wrong one to record.
I’m relegated to just talking shit on people who clearly have a copy of the original video, but upload it to the internet by playing it on their screen and shakily pointing their phone’s camera at it rather than just uploading the fucking file.
I blame iOS’s poor file management.
Should be illegal really, jail time.
Right to jail.
Believe it or not… jail.
Somehow I actually read, “arrested” instead of “insulted” first time!
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 still do. Depends on what you are filming, 9 out 10, landscape should be the go to.
