My pothos has been trailing across the same shelf for three years now, and honestly it's thriving on neglect

My pothos has been trailing across the same shelf for three years now, and honestly it's thriving on neglect. I water it when I remember, bright indirect light, and it just keeps going. The only thing I've noticed is that the leaves get smaller the longer the vines run, so I cut it back hard last month and pinned the new growth to a moss pole instead. Way bushier already. Has anyone else found that training pothos vertically changes how vigorous it grows, or is it just my setup?
