We’re getting vertical streams before 21:9 aspect ratio support. Come on

Ultrawide is extremely niche compare to vertical resolutions/aspect ratio. It's not even close.

Ah, yes

Vertical Video Syndrome

We were warned, but allowed it to become endemic.

I mean across all display devices, not just monitors.

Dont get me wrong, while I don't have an ultrawide, I've seen some of them in store and they look wonderful. It's almost like being in the future.

That being said, it's clear that vertical resolutions/aspect ratios are far more widespread.

The average YouTube short:

Edit: It's called "Sludge content": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sludge_content

Which reminds me of a certain part from Back to the future too. I'll try to search for it, but my DVD drive is currently occupied

Vertical video syndrome is a serious affliction.

Say "No" to old Mila Kunis.

Getting vertical video before modern codecs (AV1∨HEVC), and the same bitrate limitations since it was justin.tv .

It's impressive how stagnant Twitch is, and how expensive it's purported to be.

I understand that the overwhelming majority of people will still continue streaming at 16:9, or the vertical equivalent. It's not just about ownership of ultrawide displays. It's about support for such output format, for people who do want it. But even going by your own example, a ton of phones are 19.5:9, with some models straight up being 21:9

Mobile users are a cancer.

Are you really using Lemmy from a desktop? You sat in front of some high powered PC and THIS was the best thing you could find to do?

Typical mobile brain. You've really been pavlov'd into thinking you can only do a single thing at a time.

I'll just leave this video guide here to cure world of this cancer

I use Lemmy from my phone and desktop at the same time. That's how I appear to be everywhere at once.

Fixed that for you.

Weird, both links work for me

Yewtube Is a third party front end for YouTube using Invidious , more private, no ads and if you pair it with Freetube you can even skip in video advertisements/sponsors.

Oh, yeah, that makes sense. I kinda assumed they already supported it, like YouTube Shorts adopting the vertical format for shorts after Ticktock blew up.
