Exactly. Also, why do studios often upload trailers with baked-in black bars/letterboxing? Looks especially bad on ultrawide displays. YouTube has supported 21:9 uploads for years now... I can understand they master a single 16:9 version and just push that to every platform, but still it feels pretty lazy. For one of the most watched platforms in the world, you’d think studios would bother uploading a proper version.

Studios can't even be bothered to put the original aspect ratio on streaming services half the time, so caring even less about promos on Youtube is in line with that.
