I think that’s correct. I feel like some of it (editing out the breaths) started on YT and has become sort of standard with internet video more broadly. Similar reasons for it on YT - people are most likely to navigate away within the first few mins so creators just squeeeeeeeeeze in the content

you are absolutely right honestly sometimes I feel like someone’s speaking so fast that it’s actually harder for me to pay attention

I think it’s one technique! I think people also speed their shit up or just intentionally speak super quick.

I definitely understand why people are doing it but I feel like I am getting so fatigued by it these days, I don’t like how everyone sounds like the end of a pharmaceutical commercial now

I’ve known more than a few people in my career who left Colombia and came to the U.S. because they believed it was safer to do journalism here. Up until recently, that was true.
