    I think I know what you mean for certain videos…I hate it when some people use that “clipped” style when the video jumps, often for some kind of comic effect

    Not comic really, it’s just all the “uhhh”s and “ummm”s cut out along with pauses that are deemed too long. Basically a way to one-shot the filming process by doing lots of editing. I definitely notice the editing when watching the video, idk for sure if I’d hear it just by the audio.

      I wish I could find an example of what I’m talking about.

      I think some is done more for “engagement” and editing for time and trying to game the YT algorithm (sigh) and like you said, removing the sneezes, coughs, uhhs and ums and doing it rather inartfully since it’s mostly a disposable format.

      I’m talking about a certain style of presentation that seems intentionally done where sentence fragments are kind of chopped together where one word barely or doesn’t even end, and another begins.

      What’s worse is I’ve heard Gen Z and alpha sometimes try to imitate this style in everyday speech and if people think vocal fry is annoying, holy fuck, this is 1000x vocal fry.
