If I've not found something worth watching within 10 or 15 videos then I find something more interesting to do instead.rick_chasey said:You're not flicking through 100-200 videos an hour in landscape. You could well be in portrait.

You guys can complain all you want, the reality is that is how lots of people consume content so it makes commercial sense to produce it.- Genesis Croix de Fer

Yep, Blakeney is right on this. It's as pointless as endless meme's, YouTube or longer videos I get.pblakeney said:

A great way to get people to see the exciting stuff in your sport who otherwise wouldn’t see itPross said:

I'm struggling what you would actually see for cricket though, the ball is a tiny dot at the best of times. It's going to be difficult to capture a diving catch in the slips at a viewable size when filming in portrait. I find it weird when people use a technology designed for one thing to do something else less well than previous tech managed (see also using Twitter for massive threads).rick_chasey said:

Course it is. I see more clips from cricket on there than pretty much anywhere else. In fact, I doubt I'd see any otherwise.pblakeney said:

If you really want a laugh, check out the official paralympics TikTok account (and before you ask, yes they are in on the joke).

Clips of cricket work well as the focus is on the wicket, which when filmed from behind the bowlers arm fills a portrait frame well. It's not showing live action and is very well clipped to show the pertinent action.Pross said:

My favourite criticism is when people complain about what the TikTok algorithm shows them, and it's all scantily clad young women and conspiracy theories.
Guys, the algorithm is ruthless; it very quickly susses out what you like and don't like. You have a huge input into what it shows you.
Mine is mainly humour that only the most chronically online get, cycling, F1, other generic ball sports and the occasional fashion/watch/where's hot to eat out.0 -
I'm guessing there is an assumption that I use Tik Tok? For clarification, I don't.photonic69 said:

My TikTok started out with unpresidented relentless clips of the most disgusting pimple popping, puss oozing panoply. Thank God it has been replaced with clips of scantily clad young ladies, though I've no idea how that happened?

Back in the actual world, not those ones on your phones, building control being micro detailed on the info I need to provide to get a building warrant approval for a v simple change of an existing window space to a proper usable door and the existing tiny door space to a window. Means only a minor change to how the front facade looks. No neighbours will or do give a bleep.

Apparently there are specific film crews/equipment to cater for "portrait viewing" during the cricket world cup currently in progress as millions are expected to watch in this way.briantrumpet said:rick_chasey said:
Who scrolls through videos in panoramic?!briantrumpet said:photonic69 said:Don't get me started on Vertical video orientation!!!!
Argh, indeed, and even Youtube defaults for that for uploading short videos.
Not me, nor in portrait.
I'm looking forward to portrait TVs, to match Tiktok & mobile phone format.
Good for 6's, anyway.0 -

I was going to write this earlier in the landscape/portrait stuff but thought it couldn't be right, but have now confirmed.
BBC news app on my phone when showing a video shot in portrait in full screen mode puts a band across the screen with the video in the middle of it. Change to landscape and the band gets bigger so the portrait video is bigger when viewed in landscape.
Makes no sense at all.0 -
Oh, another very trivial annoyance. So trivial fixing it would be quicker than writing this post.
Strava notifications about being a 'local legend'. There is nothing legendary about riding the same boring commute day in and day out. Telling me I've lost the status because I'm working from home or on holiday is meaningless, telling me I've gained it reminds me how predictable my life is.
Going to turn off the notification now.0 -

With immediate effect? That sounds bad enough, but I would also be worried about what Ofsted has found.shirley_basso said:Kids nursery just been ordered to close indefinitely following ofsted inspection yesterday.
