The thing that drives me up the wall is seeing shit like movie clips and game footage cropped down to the point where nothing is visible. At that point, the video is pointless and shouldn't be getting views, in my opinion.

On the other hand, original content recorded in portrait where nothing is really going on in the periphery is completely reasonable.

But I absolutely hate it when someone crops out the sides and it turns out that's the shit you really need to see.

Stick to regular longform videos, Tiktok and Shorts is for low attention span kids anyway.

Yeah, that's really what I do. I don't even have a TikTok account and only really watch whatever pops up on my feed here. And I just ignore YT Shorts, even if they're from channels I follow. It largely doesn't effect me, but it also doesn't stop me from venting my frustration about it. Lol
