I know this is not new but the past few years short videos often get edited in a way that it seems like ever 1-2 seconds a new clip starts playing. I understand if it's a recipe or something where the creator cuts out unnecessary parts but sometimes it just someone telling a short story and they could have easily just made it 1 clip. But instead every breath in between each word is cut out. Why do people do this and why has it gotten so popular?
I personally find it very hard to follow stories when creators edit their clip excessively like that. But I can understand that it might keep people interested and watching the clip instead of zoning out. Is that the reason or was it something else that caused this video editing style?
