After popularizing vertical videos, TikTok is now trying to encourage horizontal ones, too.
It's promising to increase views for some creators who submit horizontal videos.

TikTok is telling creators that if they submit horizontal videos, the platform may "boost" their views.
Which would be ironic now that YouTube is spending a lot of effort trying to promote YouTube Shorts — its horizontal TikTok clone.
