Well, if s/he is, s/he's in a minority of at least two. When I see vertical video I instantly think "moron".

The reason landscape is the sensible choice is because our eyes are placed horizontally and our natural field of view is wider than it is tall. Portrait mode will be a good choice when humanity evolves to have one eye above the other.

Nobody is using a phone that is larger than a human's vertical field of view at arms length. Even otherwise, human vision is based on eye movements and a complex form of visual integration. Your desire to mock others is entirely your free choice, but nothing you said is "sensible".

There's no natural reason to have evolved with eyes stacked on top... bears don't fall from the sky.

Laughted at this, but higher viewpoint provides longer range.

I think the way you judge people is anti-social.

You must be fun at parties.

It's the perfect format to film tall people standing in closets.
