Vertical Posting is a tactical trend in internet culture where users create exceptionally tall images or videos to occupy the entire viewport of a mobile device. This technique, often called 'screen hogging,' forces viewers to scroll through the entire content, increasing engagement and visibility in algorithmic feeds. While it started as a way to circumvent platform cropping, it evolved into its own aesthetic, featuring elongated characters or stacked sequences of jokes. Today, it is widely used on platforms like TikTok, Pinterest, and X to maximize the 'thumb-stopping' effect in a sea of standard-sized content.
