You're not alone. For how immensely popular he is, I've yet to ever watch any of his videos, or even have YouTube recommend them to me.
Night reason I know about him are a few videos from other channels, like the epic rap battles of history episode, and one that was criticizing his ghost kitchen. But I think the first time I heard about him was when every YouTuber was trying to jump on his hype when he was planting a ton of trees or something like that?
I tried watching a video of his once because I was genuinely interested in the subject. There were so many jump cuts it was unwatchable. Now I know all YouTube videos for kids are like that
Yea honestly I cant really watch it either. Shortform content and hyoeractive content just annoys the hell out of me.
It's a worrying trend; kids can't focus at all these days. They're always craving for the dopamine rush.
YouTube creators in general have loves their jump cuts for ages. At first I think it was because they were amateurs who were be to video editing and didn't understand established editing techniques. But now they do it intentionally because kids can't sit still for too long.
