Would it be possible in the future for tmdb to support the use of vertical episodic backdrops, for web series that are released on apps like DramaBox or ShortMax? Their episodes are usually around 1 minute in length and all in vertical format/resoultion. Obviously traditionally, basically all tv shows are watched in landscape(?)/have a wide resolution. However, there are web series that are released on apps like DramaBox that are not like this.
Here are some examples of episodic backdrops for a series called Desired by My Unkown Husband (https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/281528-desired-by-my-unknown-husband):

These backdrops are very different to the resolutions for episodic backdrops on this site, and it would require significant cropping that would ruin the image (imo) in order to meet those dimensions.
Would a possible workaround to this issue be to add black bars to the left and right of these backdrops (and downscale appropriately)? I know this is an incorrect way to fix aspect ratio. but can we make exceptions for vertical web series?
