I hate when they do that to TV shows. Of course watching it in 4:3 with black bars is better than having it zoomed into to get 16:9, but have the top and bottom cut off.
I don’t know why it’s hard to understand that having the complete picture without half of it removed is superior. You can still zoom in on literally any TV from the past what like 15 years at least, right?
In case you aren’t joking, a video in the original 4:3 format can be zoomed in to watch it in 16:9 cropped or stretched to 16:9. But a video that has already been stretched usually can’t be destretched and one that has been cropped cannot be zoomed out.

Well just zoom out then, duh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Zoom or stretch depending on which one the viewer prefers.
Personally either drives me nuts.
