Y’all, my vertical videos on TikTok turned my engagement around like it was a Wendy’s 4 for $4 meal. Algorithm had me in a chokehold until I went vertical. Anyone else blown away by this magic?

Yeah, story time! I was in video marketing purgatory. 
My regular vids were a snooze fest. But then I tried vertical vids for my local coffee shop, and BAM! 200% increase in views. Coincidence? I think not.

Fact: Vertical vid algorithm > my social life. 
But for real, ever wonder why the algorithm loves vertical so much? Is it just me or is horizontal going extinct?

Horizontal is like using a phone book in 2023. 
I switched to vertical and got 3x the engagement on Insta Reels. It’s like adding avocado to toast—it just works.

Vertical vids are the POV kings. You gotta think like a smartphone, not a TV. But seriously, how do we keep it fresh and not repetitive?

Use the FIRST 3 SECONDS wisely. 
Hook them with chaos or slap a meme format. Boom, retention skyrockets. It’s all about that scroll-stopping power, baby!

Scrolled this thread instead of doing my essay. No regrets, though. Vertical vids lowkey saved our student club’s promos. From 5 likes to 500—wild times.

Got a secret sauce for y’all: strategic text overlays. Sprinkle ‘em on your vids like parmesan on pasta. 
People love reading stuff, apparently.

Crazy thought 
: Does the algorithm hate horizontal just cuz it’s harder to watch on the toilet? Legit question—change my mind.

Yo, vertical is basically shoutout culture—‘cause it’s personal, it’s direct. It’s like FaceTime, but for everyone.

What’s the best length tho? I keep getting mixed signals. TikTok favors short, but what’s the sweet spot for YouTube Shorts?

Under 60 seconds for sure! Anything longer feels like a commitment, like signing up for a gym membership.

Vertical vids are the new black. Even Beyoncé’s TikToking. Saw her in my feed last week. Beyoncé = trend validated.

But is it just a trend, or here to stay? Will we be laughing at vertical vids in 2030 like we laugh at flip phones now?

If it dies, we’ll meme it to death first. But till then, we ride the vertical wave. 
Stay blessed, stay vertical.

This thread made me realize I don’t have a single horizontal video on my phone anymore. RIP horizontal, u served us well.
