    Vertical video really is the physical manifestation and metaphor of the narrowed world view everyone is being locked into. One day maybe the AGI will understand humour and look back and laugh at how stupid our race was.

      Isn’t horizontal video exactly as narrow, just on different axis?

        But aligned with our field of view. We can see about twice as wide as we can see vertical. Which is why video moved away from square and 4:3. So now we are doing this, presumably so we can keep peripheral vision free to spot predators.

          Okay, so it’s as narrow but it’s better because it fills out entire field of vision. Not sure how that relates to narrowness of the worldviews.

    I wonder if it will suck as much as the Netflix app on Apple TV?

      I cancelled my Netflix, but Shudder just did the same thing and it’s fucking unusable. They also just announced a price increase. I think they hate having customers.

        Popular theory is that they are pushing everyone to AMC+
