4:50 This would be impossible in Europe, as their prongs are partially covered in rubber so that there is no exposed metal of a live plug. Why is this not the standard in the US?
It was said that the current increases due to loose fitting contacts. NO, the resistance increases causing more heating at the contact point (I sqr R) and can escalate easily to very hot especially as the spring temper fades with heat.
As far as I know, there is no right way up or down. However I’ve heard that it is code to put ground on the upper side for safety concerns in some areas.

The NEC does not specify orientation. Most right angle / low profile extension cords and power strips assume the ground pin is at the bottom.
Your outlet (plug) is so sad dude
