As someone who spends his life shooting video, it always pains me to have a family member show me a video they’ve shot on their phone in portrait. They simply don’t understand, and their excuse is always that “I always hold my phone like that!”.
You’re holding it wrong.
Thankfully we now have this excellent instructional video on why Vertical Video Syndrome needs to be cured.

One of the funniest things I’ve seen. Unfortunately I almost brought my mom to tears thinking her videos weren’t viewable. But funny!
