Where is the vertical video app that lets you watch your favorite YouTube/IG/Twitch-type “content creators” on your phone in the same easy/addictive format as Stories?

That seems to be what people want, not network produced scripted tv made brief + vertical.

I think you just described TikTok.

Yeah, this kind of content/UI is definitely available on Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and probably Facebook.

YouTube and Twitch though seem to have some of the strongest "content creator" culture and are both still stuck in landscape videos and other sub-optimal phone UI.
