Lmao “designed for wide screen” as though eyes don’t focus on one point.
Filming a random event in life is not cinematography, and it makes far more sense for someone using a phone to film in the aspect that people hold their phones in, especially if the majority of the viewers will be using their phones.
Just accept the fact that you’re in the minority as a desktop user and don’t complain about the disadvantages that come with that, given that you’re the one choosing to browse on desktop
I'm looking at my desk now, I have ~180deg horizontal vision and about 130deg vertical vision, sounds like widescreen to me?

filming is telling a story, therefore it should be done using the most realistic format - landscape. And filming a UFO definitely deserves a bit more attention than this duffer was able to manage
it's called portrait for a reason, it's just for faces, it's only ever used by heathens, because they have nothing important to say other than grinning at each other whilst wearing cat ears....
as a member of the PC Master Race, I have both a Scroll Lock and a SysReq button, clearly important tools vital to the browsing experience

Do you watch movies with your peripheral vision? When is the last time a vertically filmed video went outside of your vertical range of view? Long story short: your eyes focus on one point and you’re not losing anything visually if a video is shown vertically or horizontally

Really? Would this video have changed your experience at all if you had an extra 2,000 pixels of empty blue sky to the right and left of the ufo rather than to the top and bottom? Makes no difference, you’re just mad that it’s smaller on your monitor than it would be if it was filmed in landscape

Retarded. “It’s called landscape for a reason, it’s just for mountain ranges and trees.” It makes the most sense to film in the aspect that the viewer will be watching it in. And for these random videos, that’s vertical, not horizontal
Do you watch movies with your peripheral vision?
everyone does? That's why cinemas have an aspect ratio of 2.39:1 and not a phones 9:16
When is the last time a vertically filmed video went outside of your vertical range of view?
again, you still think you are only watching what you are focusing on, you are wrong, your ancestors would all have been eaten by bears while you were taking a pee if this were the case
Would this video have changed your experience at all if you had an extra 2,000 pixels of empty blue sky to the right and left of the ufo
yes, because I was trying to work out if it was the UFO moving or if he was just a useless spaz waving his phone around, so I was looking for a stationary cloud or something as a reference
“It’s called landscape for a reason, it’s just for mountain ranges and trees.”
correct, and anything in the foreground. Trees could be portrait though
that's why they gave the modes descriptive names, so artistically challenged people would easily know which one was more appealing, congrats on being the unexpected fail case I guess?

That's retarded, that's why some directors blocked movie studios from distributing their film onto mobiles, if you can't appreciate something as intended then you are just wasting everyone's time
