weird interesting lol, I do that pause on audio recordings too and I'm a millenial.
The theory seems right, older devices took a second to actually start recording.
Or alternatively, back in the day (early 2000s) you didn't have the selfie camera and only a camcorder, and so someone would film you -- you wouldn't really film yourself. They had the camera pointed at you and then you would see them press the button to start recording and tell you "go" after a couple seconds (also still done in film to make sure you can splice your cuts correctly). So now I wonder if it's not an even older generational divide, because as a kid your parents would be the ones filming you usually.
I think it's nonsense. I'm a zoomer, I do the pause just to gather myself and think of what I'm gonna say. If there's any correlation at all it's probably due to older people not being as familiar with the tools to edit out the pause that might exist in the specific app.
