    What’s the point of editing out the natural pauses between sentences? I had to stop watching because this dude was inconsistent about it and it was too jarring.

      Viewers have literally zero attention span, so if the talking isn’t super high speed back to back without even a single second to pause for breath, people click off or scroll past.

      Same with subtitles that flash up rapidly, a single word at at time.

      That’s the sorry state of affairs we are now living with.

      It sounded like he was being sloppy about stitching together the audio from multiple takes, rather than a distinct decision.

      But yeah, I can’t stand that condensed run-on-sentence editing style that so many youtubers have adopted. It has an uncanny valley quality to it that’s off-putting.
