This is basically an attention killing machine and I'm not talking about the method, the method is OK and not novel. I have found that these time cuts completely ruin my ability to concentrate and after it happens 2-3 times in a short period, I lose interest in the video because it is so annoying.

Agreed. I find it extremely hard to watch videos where the sense of flow is completely disrupted by these cuts. It seems to be the norm though so I guess we're in the minority.

  +1, perhaps a sizeable minority? It's probably a generational thing. Personally I'd recommend writing a script and rehearsing it, instead of going on the fly and having to edit out the umhs, aahs and awkward silences. This might also raise the standard for excitement above the generic "super stoked". Having said that, I think there's probably a market for this. Good luck to OP!

    This whole concept of a scripting and rehearsing is an older generation thing. Better to sound natural and real than rehearsed

      Potentially, but my favourite channels are those that don't jump cut in this way and still don't sound rehearsed. I think you're right about the generational thing, but also it speaks to a lack of effort on the creators part. Why learn to be a good presenter when you can have the technology take care of it for you?

    The simplest way would be to make it like that and then write a script from the result, then re-shoot as a single uninterrupted stream of information.

In contrast I speed videos up because of the silences or slow talking. It removes my concentration otherwise. Call it an attention disorder. I will agree that those cuts in body movement seem odd if anything when silences are removed. Maybe put a cat picture in the middle.
