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.

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.

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

Ok. Good luck with that.
