Oh no.
Anyone else remember the campaign to not film vertical videos?
- I remember it being a huge thing on r/cinematography and r/praisethecameraman

They wont be seen again.

Honestly I'm not a fan of this move. Shorts is a bad format in general, and seeing more content being converted to this format doesn't bode well for the long run.
