That orientation is a big reason why they are great... they are meant to be consumed on a phone.
The only problem is you cant rewind them with the default interface and have to loop it if you missed something.

- Chirael 4y agoJust like a monopoly, they long ago stopped tweaking the product to improve your experience, and instead for years now all the product changes have been to improve theirs. As another example, I’ve noticed they’ve started hiding when videos were published too
- andrewstuart 4y agoThis is the key point and should be comment #1. When a company has “won”, it no longer makes product decisions to please users, it makes product decisions to suit itself.
- nkrisc 4y agoEven on my phone I prefer landscape. The few shorts I’ve seen would have been better if they were landscape. The ones I saw could have been trimmed down to 1:1 or 4:3 and would have been essentially the same.
- dmix 4y agoI’m the opposite, reading is easier in non-landscape and when watching videos on YouTube or Reddit it’s annoying to have to turn your phone sideways and hope you don’t have ‘lock’ on… then if you do you hope it works properly and doesn’t take forever. Mostly a pain but obviously some video content doesn’t make sense without landscape mode.
