It’s the trees root plates. Not really a safe thing to be around. Not very responsible to let doggo be endangered.
I would be worried the dog would go underneath and get crushed/trapped
Yes indeed.
Fantastic video, but it winds me up when they add padding to a phone video to make it landscape, as if no one in existence might possibly be viewing their phone-generated content on a phone.
Yeah adding padding is always harmful. If the aspect ratio doesn’t match it’s not like the video breaks so just let the player deal with it. Anyone who has a problem with vertical videos isn’t going to be any happier that you added bars to it. Who is this solution for?

Why can’t you use it? Because your web designer isn’t designing for the possibility that people use a phone to access the Web, but it’s not 2004 any more and they’re living in the past.
You showed your colours when you assumed that portrait video is of lower quality. It’s only of lower quality if you’ve padded it out and are watching it on a landscape screen!
Technology to detect whether your webpage is being viewed landscape has existed for a long time, and takes very simple calculations indeed or just a splash or two of css to maximise the video size for whatever screen it’s being viewed on. It’s design laziness and wasted bandwidth to put the silly blurry bars or even black bars down the side of the video. But don’t force landscape on everyone. Smart phones aren’t new and they aren’t going away.
I suspect that the majority of people who spend even a tiny bit more than half of their recreational screen time looking at a fixed landscape screen are well over thirty.

I never said it’s lower quality. Not once.
No? This you?
we kept everything to a certain standard of quality. Vertical videos are not suitable for anything except a phone.
Totally not lower quality. Definitely not. There’s a full stop and everything. No link whatsoever. My bad.
No one said anything about websites.
Well I think the rest of us are discussing a video on bbc.co.uk, which is a website, and we’re doing it on lemmy.world, which is also a website, and when I complained about people making portrait videos landscape, I suspect most people correctly figured out that I meant on websites, so I really think it’s just you that assumes we’re talking about jeep club.
I was mildly concerned about Jake being eaten by the angry Tree Ents for a bit there!
Thought I was about to watch a dog die.
Sorry for your disappointment
It’s fab being in the forest when this happens, although dangerous, it’s fun to walk along aha.
Mother Nature’s toupee game is, not good
Why are the roots so shallow? Wouldn’t the trees stop this from happening?
This is what I always wonder when they tell me a plant “tolerates clay soil”. Like does it really? Or does it just avoid it by spreading out all its roots in the thin topsoil? This would seem to be the latter.
Dang Scotland, you scary
