10 years ago, a person would be insulted for filming a video in portrait instead of landscape. Now, old landscape videos are being cropped and resized to fit in a portrait player. (self.showerthoughts)

One day TV makers are going to switch to 9 by 16 screens, vertical portrait mode TVs on the wall. Im from the future. Check back in 10 years, you will see.

The Sero from Samsung back in 2020 is how it all started to go sideways.

Or in this case, upways?

I'd like to think the opposite of sideways is downways

Was trying to be semi-funny based on how the screen changes orientation.

You are probably right though.

Oh, I was trying to build off of your joke by saying that the change from horizontal to vertical video is a downgrade haha
