It's not just the fact that we keep getting recommended weird irrelevant shit in the recommended video sections anymore that's irritating me and weirding me out. Depending on where you go and I've noticed it's mostly the zero attention span normie content that has this in the most there. It's the most unimaginative bullshit you've ever encountered and what's worse it's very much got that "Ahahaha this is so funny you're supposed to laugh at it" reddit style energy.
I'm sure you've seen these fucking jump cuts/cut aways, not sure what to call them, but it's like they've got a generator for them and they just slice it into footage every time. It's usually something to do with minions or some other crap and I've gotten so fed up with it I just click off. They might have been funny perhaps in 2017 - 2018 or something. However they overuse the fuck out of them and sometimes it makes the content completely unwatchable when otherwise it would have been fine.
This is another reason why I tend to stick to the more autistic parts of the internet and watch that sort of content. Meanwhile they do all that crappy editing and seem to have zero research teams on the back end so lately they've been making some particularly silly fuck ups that even their own comments page calls them out on.
I don't know why jump cuts are such a major thing in youtube videos if it's because of the algorithm or what but this trend needs to fucking die along with the youtubers who keep doing it. You know those horrible cringey boomer memes where they got a meme generator and then it's a wall of text? It's like that.
Whassuuup /You beautiful / Bastards?
Haii guyyyyz don't forget to like and subscribe! Ah my gahd!
Donate to muh Patreon because without it, I would never make content ever again (they will).
I like this one, its an easy way to eliminate a channel within the first couple of seconds.
Huh, At first i thought you were talking about the cuts made in the speeches, always jarring that people no longer can be arsed to train themself to do a full presentation, but a minor nitpick since i'm not paying for content.
Other than that can't say I got much of it, since I keep myself away from normie stuff to a quite good extent, got any example?
The other guys already did a great example below lol it's been everywhere over on the normie parts of youtube. So far the only places I've found which are safe from this kind of special plague is the more long form content 15+ minutes. I was looking at a bit of Passport Bros content though and it's infected the manosphere types as well it seems. Generic jump cuts abound of shitty overused memes, became unwatchable after a few minutes because they would do it so often within those minutes.
Any recent Mr. Beast video. Watching one must be what having ADHD feels like.
post an example, numbnuts.
But I don't want to give myself cancer :( I suppose I could search for a particularly awful one, honestly PJW falls within this category these days. He's gotten particularly annoying because he only posts 10 minute long videos max yet he's got to fit a sponsor read in and that stupid animated like/subscribe bar people sometimes use.

Can you link an example of what you're talking about? I pretty much only watch vids from people I'm subbed to.
"Oh, this seems interesting. A review of Magic Spoon with the globo homo art. I wonder if that stuff is as trash as I suspect it is."
within 60 seconds this guy is throwing boxes around like it's hilarious
"Never mind."
*LOUD BURP*
Did he throw in some jump cuts and pull a face every time for the thumbnail while he was at it?
I thankfully no mugging at the camera like a clown, at least for the 65 seconds I watched it.
Can't talk about the thumbnail thanks to a highly recommended extension "Clickbait Remover for Youtube". Doesn't always work, but the majority stupid gaping mouths and red arrows / circles are gone when I just want to look up a tutorial or something actually useful.
YouTube is like Bethesda games, there are a specific set of mods needed just to get the thing to work at all. I have Clickbait Remover too and also Sponsor Block
If the stuff you're watching has a lot of jump cuts, that's a 'you' problem.
No, execute the heathens.
Dunno, jump cuts are a tool that can be used or abused. If the content is shit, jump cuts are only going to make it worse.
But there are some that lean so hard into jump cuts it becomes an art. Like Max0r or Fleekazoid. They're like 90% jump cuts.
I know what you mean about the jump cuts. Imagine how much time and effort they have to put in editing that together, instead of doing something productive. It's likely become so common due to the massive amount of people with screen induced autism, whose attention span is nearly extinct. The jump cuts are contributing to this problem.
"Youtubers" are mostly retards vomiting fifteen minutes of empty words instead of writing a single page blog post with two images. The increase in bandwidth capacity brought desolation to the net. If you're consuming enough of that shit to notice trends like that, you are also desolate mentally.
I feel the same but for people who subtitle/closed caption videos with the word appearing on screen when it's spoken. Straight up against the wall.
Write out a full sentence or don't caption at all.
