BUT, the market will be terribly limited.
I think vertical video will only be consumed by those affixed solely to their phones. It has no value to anyone using a TV, especially since a TV is at a 16:9 ratio.
You Tube, and the "like" (because there is going to be more than one entity involved in this) is going to use this as an "anyone can direct" sort of promotion, and yes, certain features will be exclusively in the vertical format.
In fact, you ever see the movie "Hardcore Henry" that would have been perfect in a vertical format for You Tubers only.

I think the assumption Is that the living room goes vertical even if just for a larger communal experience but with social media interaction. Imagine a more household orientated signage vertical display (like the ones in fancy stores) but intended for tv and video. Perish the thought. This obviously means the likes of you and me are not a consideration, we either put up or shut up. We may even be dead by then but I do think it would happen sooner than that. Of course, it may be more likely the tv will die in that instance.
