YouTubers have been doing gratuitous jump cuts since like 2011, go look at some Fred videos. It's nothing to do with TikTok nor ADD, they use the jump cuts to mask recording mistakes or to cut out pauses.

- KaoruAoiShiho 4y agoPauses and mistakes objectively add negative value to videos it's a good thing that it's removed.
- rowanG077 4y agoShowing a well placed recording mistake shows the youtubers is still human. You see it all the time in videos and of course it's on purpose.
- KaoruAoiShiho 4y agoI need to be in a certain mood to care about the video's "humanity", rather typically I just want the information.
- rchaud 4y ago> they use the jump cuts to mask recording mistakes or to cut out pauses. Over time, it becomes a culture signifier of sorts. MrBeast is bigger than Pewdiepie (embarrassed that I know these names), he obviously does not need to paper over mistakes with those cuts. Same way he doesn't need to make exaggerated open-mouth face for the Youtube thumbnail, but they do anyway.
- kbenson 4y agoThere have been a few people that examined the topic of YouTube thumbnails, even with a/b testing and statistical analysis (since YouTube allows you to change it and gives good stats). It really does matter to getting views.
