Good riddance, vertical videos are cancer, short form obliterates attention spans, and their algorithm is engineered specifically to addict people, especially kids.

Now to ban all the rest of them. Let's start with Facebook. Twitter is already killing itself but could stand to be "helped" off the cliff.

As a video editor, let me tell you how much I hate that not only do people watch shitty vertical videos all the time, but I've had to learn how to edit the fucking things.

I hate vertical video on a professional level.

That's not just a TikTok thing though.
