This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

WHY 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%: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QThaHpkFVzw
By now, I've just got a second screen in portrait orientation.
Okay, I got it for documents, but it works nicely for those vids.
This video comes from the official Internet Archive TikTok page. I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse lol!

Explains its existence at least.
The video contains all necessary information and you don't need to turn your phone. I don't see a problem here.
Ok. Good luck with that.
You could say the same thing about a video recording of a pc monitor. Yeah all the necessary stuff is there but you also lose a lot may it be quality or just more pixels which give greater context to the video by showing more of the actual recording
With the full size recording you can see more of the machine which is part of the main subject so it’s not just meaningless data/context either
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I’m with you but it’s not about being lazy, just like shit audio being on most videos these days this is yet another symptom of tiktok bullshit.
Videos with shit sounds get more traction and tiktok wants every video to be scrollable without havin to turn your phone and shit so the result is trash like this getting pumped out which ruins the actual video content
It’s probably not cropped. It’s just filmed vertically
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.
This isn't a "significant" video. By any standard. Digest the information and move on. Doing otherwise is fist fighting the waves on the beach.
Most importantly, the purpose and message of the video is conveyed.
Thankfully, you don't get to decide what other people consider "significant". I'll spend my time how I want, thanks.
Literally name any metric or qualifier of objective nature.
Lol, no. You don't get to debate me into not valuing something. Deal with it.
You deal. You're the one having a this about a fully informative short clip.
You clearly only have subjective value positions to argue from, and can't meaningfully refute my points.
There's no problem enjoying content the way you do. There's a problem getting angry about a video that literally does it's job
Nah.
Glad we tidied this up. Resume the video!!
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:
You don't understand the data. That data has nothing to do with what video format people prefer.
