10 years ago, a person would be insulted for filming a video in portrait instead of landscape. Now, old landscape videos are being cropped and resized to fit in a portrait player. (lemmy.world)

Insulted? Vines videos were mostly portrait. 2013-2014 were most-likely its hay day. Vines is dead now, but cell phone videos in portrait were posted to Vines a lot.

Now if you mean music videos or cinema, yeah, portrait would be odd.

Vine was started in early 2013 and in mid to late 2012, this video was popular: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dechvhb0Meo

That's about six months of true vertical video hate before the war was lost.
