4:3 back in? Let's talk aspect ratios

[Georgie-M]

I can understand those frustrated by 2:1's use on TV, but when making content created specifically for watching online, it's what I prefer to use. With how much content is consumed on mobile devices, and most phones using a 2:1 aspect, it just makes sense to design like this. There's nothing that frustrates me more when watching YouTube videos on my phone than having to zoom in and out constantly because the editor can't decide how much of the screen they want to use. In general, I find it a nice compromise between a TV-focused 16:9 ratio and a mobile-focused portrait view like what's used on TikTok.
