> This is super cool. [...] However, I'd like to slap the Youtuber that decided to record in portrait rather than landscape - especially as this device is rather obviously horizontal rather than vertical.

- dylan604 2y agoSadly, this will only get worse. Younger people that spend so much time on TikTok will just feel comfortable with that aspect ratio. I know kids that spend more time in portrait mode on their devices than they do in front of the wide screen TV at home; mainly because their parents are planted in front of it watching what they want. Sucking in those TikTok videos is a bit of their independence which is only emboldening the preference. At least it didn't have that lame voice with transcription text on it
- Liquix 2y agothe baked-in animated captions are so jarring and make things impossible to watch. i think your observations are astute though -- the constant bright shapes popping up every .5s is required to hold the tiktok generation's attention long enough to digest a narrative
- binarymax 2y agoI predict in 2 years there will be some aspect-ratio fill-in using genai. The thought of which terrifies me but I can definitely see it happening.
