Though it makes sense if you're watching it on your phone maximised in its natural orientation.

  We should just make phones square.

    Or make the sensor square and have it record full-sensor so the image can be rotes in post processing.

    No, we should have the phones deliver electric shocks whenever taking video in portrait mode.

  Probably who records videos just pick up the phone, portrait mode, and start filming. No thoughts about the circumstances of watching it later on.

    Looks more like a user experience problem than the content creator's problem Youtube doesn't post process vertical videos correctly, while Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, and many other sites keep the processed video in its flexible aspect ratio - primarily for their mobile users who would have no UX problem. Interesting how that hasn't made it into the discussion, I feel like people will just stop talking about it when the UX is fixed

      Funny you should say that mobile users on Reddit have no UX problem with vertical videos. Here is how the above link looks like on my mobile device. Original link (to classic reddit UI), mobile version horizontal, mobile version portrait, respectively: https://imgur.com/a/JU4v3rn https://imgur.com/a/JU4v3rn

        okay. then reddit should fix their UX problem shrug emoji doesn't change the point

        The video has a full screen button which can be seen in your screenshots. Tap it and the video fills the screen in portrait mode on both the old reddit and the new mobile reddit, at least on my Android device.

          I find it terrible "progress" that one has to press a button to get a functional view.
