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?

    I wouldn’t even mind vertical videos that much, but the real fucking cancer are vertical videos with baked-in black borders for 16:9 ratio, so you can’t view them comfortably on anything and the resolution is like 1/4 of the original.

    Bonus if those borders are also filled with ads or other annoying bullshit.

      I don’t know why creators even do that with the black borders… you can’t even watch those on a phone. Annoys the crap out of me.
