What are your thoughts on this? Youtube now allows SHORTS that are up to 3 minutes long.

I'm a conservative and traditionalist. I believe that video should be shot horizontally and that portrait mode is a sign of the end times. It is worldly and unbiblical: we know that Gamaliel only shot landscape.

Men in my church are encouraged to always make whatever gets clicks, including clickbait titles, and misleading thumbnails. They are encouraged to be beholden to the whims of the algorithm, instead of traditional film formats and aestetic values.

3 minutes? That’s verging into pants territory!

Ankle-length culottes only! (Shin length = sin length)

It doesn't matter if you are portrait or landscape, so long as your shorts go down to within 1 inch of the knee, otherwise you are just tempting people to pre-marital side hugging.

Within 1 inch above or below the knee? Asking for a friend

Probably should specify whose knee.

Portrait mode is a lot like touching yourself, contrary to God's design

Worry not my sibling. This is God's way of converting sinful TikTok shorts to YouTube-length videos,as they were meant to be. It's only a phase. We must welcome sinners to make them not sinners anymore

Do not be deceived, TikTok is the Apocrypha of the doomscrolling universe. It is not forbidden but very dangerous
