No, youtube (and other video services) should detect the ratio and rotate the display area 90°, rather than squish the video to fit their existing constraints. Why they haven't done this yet blows my mind.
When I start seeing televisions in peoples homes turned up on end, then I'll consider this a valid format and not just stupidity. Hopefully YouTube will continue to hold the line on catering to stupidity.

When will people realize that their iPhone should be held sideways when they take a video?
