I was mocking too, but things changed when a phone became the device to play back videos. At this point the orientation didn't matter as much.
It got to the point that some services, like YouTube shorts pretty much mandate vertical orientation.
Cursing those services to never be seen on desktop devices because they look so wasteful of screen real state.
I actually prefer them to landscape because like a growing amount of people I only watch YouTube on the right side of my screen and use the left for work, drawing, or if course internet browsing and chat windows.
You don't always need to use every bit of screen real estate. The goal is watching videos, not min-maxing monitor usage.
It's not so bad when your secondary monitor is vertical lmao
Sure, but then you're viewing it on your secondary monitor.
