    Today’s internet is very different and has things actually designed for vertical videos so complaining about it makes no sense anymore.

    It absolutely makes sense. You can design whatever you want for vertical videos but it makes no difference if the actual content isn’t designed for it.

    How many times have you seen videos with multiple people falling out of frame while simultaneously half the frame consists of ground and sky? Then the camera operator viciously whips back and forth to try to capture everything, creating a jarring fuckin video? How many times do you see TikTokkers trying to contort their bodies so you can actually see what’s going on in the image behind them? What difference does the size of resolution of the image make when half of it is consumed by nothing important?








  • Someone buys an expensive car. They say “I cant use the railway!” Are you going to tell them they’re wrong?

    Yes. Because they are.

    We dont know if they live next to a railway line. They’re also heavily invested in the car and unlikely to pay out for rail tickets.

    None of which indicates they “can’t use the railway”. It may not be their preferred travel method, which is fine (in the metaphorical sense), but to say they “can’t” use the railway is simply untrue.


  • OP said “the software and driver support isn’t there”.

    Someone replied and corrected them to explain the software and driver support does in fact exist.

    OP replied to say that what he actually meant was that it didn’t support the specific software and driver they wanted to use.

    Seems like a perfectly reasonable conversation.
