Projecting onto the blue line loses less information because the spread along that direction is smaller. Clamping all points onto one line in that direction would not lose that much information.
Conditions: Demonstrated on a 2D scatter plot.; The explanation is geometric and intuitive rather than algebraic.

The clip explains that PCA chooses which directions to keep based on the spread of the data. It uses a 2D scatter plot to show that projecting along the smaller-spread direction leaves the points separated, while projecting along the larger-spread direction collapses them.
