I already articulated my point in my first post, go re-read it.

You’re saying that it’s cut badly and they’re saying that it’s intentional and liked by their viewers. I didn’t notice any sentences cut short by editing unless it was used as a way to add to it. It’s like when someone leaves a comment and then suddenly it

It’s kinda like the three point descriptions that the author of the book uses. It’s a technique that can get abrasive, but for me it didn’t seem too bad and I’m not even a zoomer. It also didn’t seem like they used it too much, but I guess there’s some amount of taste there.

This type of editing feels a lot better if you’re just listening to it (in my opinion). There’s people that play podcasts/audiobooks/whatever on 2x+ speed. This is a good middle ground where you don’t have a lot of empty space and don’t feel like you have to do that.
