I don’t want to rotate my phone just to view your video.

Funny, I have the same thought about vertical video and rotating my laptop and desktop display.

Phones are commonly used in horizontal mode for games, photos, and video streaming.

If I’m watching a two hour video, I’ll flip my phone. But if I’m cycling between reading articles and other activities for which I prefer vertical mode, then I’d rather keep it in that orientation than switch it just to watch a video.
