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
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
