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.

LGBT people are just people who like different things to the mainstream, they don't put body or desires on a pedestal in the same way that straight cisgender people don't do this. Please don't make sweeping negative generalis
