Absolutely this can be a contributing factor. Something we are interested in exploring in the future is "how" people are watching these videos. Are they sitting down, lying down on a bed, turning around in a swivel chair, etc.

However, we did notice that the majority of videos with lots of action tend to center their content at 0 degrees.
