    How is this controversial. If its made to be viewed on a phone then I don’t see the reason to film hoizontally. Epecially the type of content that most people seem to make on like tiktok etc. seems better in vertical view.

      it looks like it’s controversial because any app that has vertical content must be terrible 🤷‍♂️

        I mean I don’t perticularly like the content of any of those apps (lemmy is the only real social media i use). But that doesn’t change the fact that they are using the correct format for the job.

          don’t get me wrong, I agree. Furthermore, despite the problems with apps like TikTok, I do think there’s an incredible amount of amazing content created on that platform. It can be such a showcase of the creativity of the average person, it just sucks that it’s pretty objectively terrible in multiple ways.

      Lemmy definitely showing its older age skew here lol. Almost anything related to any social media will be better vertical. (Even lemmy itself ironically)

      Hell the vertical video trend on TikTok this year was a phenomenal trend and I even recall seeing A24 doing a vertical trailer cut just for TikTok.
