Jumpcuts are a scourge on our race. Sometimes I physically get sick from my eyes having to jump around to the person that is suppose to be the focus of the video. I just can't do it.
I've found that listening to them is way easier to digest. I don't have TT but my wife does and she's always finding relevant things to share with me but I usually play them in the background so I avoid having to have my focus bounce all over the screen. Which sucks because there is a lot of decent leftist awakening type material on there but I just can't do it.
there's also a weird trend of mostly dudes doing that with really rapid speech patterns while expanding their mouths wide for consonants. it's something you won't necessarily hear unless you've had vocal training - it just sounds weird unless you have - but if you know what to listen for, you can't unhear it. the combination of all of these factors makes it really hard to understand people, akin to a thick accent, except that they're using standard US English. I've never needed captions to understand teenagers before - I've not always understood some new slang but this speaking/editing style combo is something else.
try saying "meh" while holding your tongue high and your mouth as closed as possible. then try again with your tongue low and your mouth as open as possible. it's the difference in those two sounds. makes you sound like your mouth is full of cotton, except the sound isn't muffled, it's just your consonants are garbled.
It's always some obnoxious person badly greenscreening themselves over like a tweet and bombarding you with captions. Every video on social media is like this now.

Do you have anything to help a normie understand what you mean with that speaking style thing?

Sounds like typical Upstate New York accents lol
