AnActOfCreationAt the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book—one page at a time, by hand.
EchWHY do people think everything needs to be cropped to hell just to fit on their phone. The screen rotates. Just twist it around ya lazy bastards.
Anyhow, here’s a link to the full size video that isn’t pointlessly cut down by 75%: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QThaHpkFVzw

Why care? In a second I’ll leave this video and never think of it again. The key point is conveyed, and we are all done.
Because someone went out of their way to mutilate a video for no reason, so I’m gonna go out of my way to make it right. Just because you can’t be bothered to care doesn’t mean everyone else is just like you.
Wouldn’t it be great to have it dynamic based on device?
Anyway, everyone’ll have to get off our lawn.
For the average world netizen…
…OP’s is the desirable format.
Here I am on my phone. I do not desire this format. And nothing you have posted suggests that anyone wants this format.
All it shows is device, not preference.
Anytime something is recorded wide screen my wish is that it remains in that format, regardless of platform I am on.
If I’m on my phone it takes less than half a second to rotate my screen and view as intended, on my desktop I can’t do that.
Also in this case quite a bit of the original was lost, seeing the YouTube version is much better.
Diagonal video is obviously the superior format:
Why stop at video!
