      I think it depends on your intended audience. If what you’re filming is meant to be viewed on a phone, then vertical makes sense. If the video is meant to be viewed on a TV, movie screen, or computer monitor, then rotate your phone.

      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.

          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.
