Vertical videos are here to stay thanks to apps like Snapchat
If you despise vertical or portrait video as much as some of us do, bad news: according to recent comments from ad agencies and media executives, you'll be seeing a lot more of them. The awkward format has been in our crosshairs since the iPhone 4 came out in 2010 and we felt the need to explain how to fix it. It's used by cellphone-wielders who are either too lazy to turn their phone 90 degrees or are just unaware that they should.

In addition, Snapchat and new livestreaming apps like Periscope and Meerkat will soon make the format seem normal for many users.
