    Am I the only one who can’t stand the editing / presentation here? He gave me a migraine in less than 60 seconds.

      It’s just the old school vlogger editing style. Jump cuts, jump cuts, and more jump cuts

      Hank’s videos are like that. I get stressed watching his scishow stuff too, but deal with it because the content is really interesting.

      It’s a bit excessive for my taste as well. Traditionally if you felt the need to cut this much just to make the sentence come out the way you want, you’d just do another take instead of making this many cuts in post. Over-cutting of spacing also makes the pacing a bit too “word-vomit” rather than “polished” imo.

      I imagine this is more normalized in stereotypically “zoomer” presentation of video content, but it might also just be this guy (or their editor’s) style.

      He’s cutting out the annoying filler words “um” “uh” etc and useless quiet/dead air. So yes you are the only one.
