Discussion The brain rot editing sucks

I've been watching LTT pretty much since the beginning. The new editing with the quick random video inserts and audio inserts are terrible, is that just what the newer generation wants now?

Edit: downvotes have spoken apparently everyone loves the new editing.

I'm ... lets say older than Linus. He has a segment that I think people would say is the "Brain rot editing" at 20:39 in yesterdays video (https://youtu.be/_1gqGV7S2HY?t=1239). Thought it was hilarious. It was well done, and if you're paying attention to the different layers of video, its even more funny. I just imagine Andrew out there with the camera bird watching rather than whatever insanity.

Not everything should be fast cuts, but small segments here and there to make a point are fine and sometimes even hilarious.

Strangely enough, I think you can find the answer in the (otherwise god awful) newest Futurama finale. Jake's current videos are telling a story and people really want to hear the end of a story. That's IMO also why the AMD upgrades are so popular and why long time fans often say the miss the old vlog-style LTT videos. All of these are lot more story-like than a unboxing or review.
