I think there is a large demo of people now who actually prefer to watch videos in portrait.

If you’re watching a single subject of interest video on your phone (TikTok type of content), it’s great. But landscape videos is more pleasant and there’s a reason we move from 4:3 for media. But that actually means watching the videos, but what I see is a lot of skipping.

Landscape videos were more pleasant on landscape screens, which are rarely used now, so they aren't more pleasant now.

I dont mind portrait. I mind inability to jump forward in the video.
