Alanis is a deeply mediocre person with no genuinely redeeming qualities. In any era but this one she'd be the weird assistant librarian who reads too much Sylvia Plath.
Allow me to defend the vertical-video girl. She's creating content for iPhones, using her iPhone. Speed and usability are more important than aesthetic qualities -- most of this stuff will be briefly viewed via TikTok then swiped through to the next thing. Yes, it would look better with a first-rate Canon and a laptop to process it -- but the end user doesn't care enough to make it worthwhile. There's probably no sense in doing stuff that looks beautiful on a 60" widescreen, or in a large-format magazine, if 95% of the viewers will be on a two-generations-old iPhone.

EDIT: Just purchased my 2024 three-day pass for St. Pete: $70.00, up from $65.00 (first increase since I first attended in 2016).
You should have told her to fuck off
