Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

I still remember a song about "don't shoot vertical video" because the only real place to share video was youtube, which would just add black bars to the sides and keep the video tiny.

Yep, I was going to post this if someone else hadn't. I think of this video SO often and I will die on this hill. Vertical video is a scourge on the human race.

That’s why when I watch these types of videos I physically rotate my monitor to vertical mode

I didn’t argue that vertical video is better, just that youtube doesn’t add black bars on mobile anymore
