WARNING: “I’m Old” post

Instagram video infomercials adopting 3x speed instead of editing are an omen of a lost art.

Cutting (or variable speed) is a more cognitively efficient time compression.

I wonder if it’s the jumpcut falling out of favor due to ubiquitous cameras?

@omershapira i was under the impression that movies were edited with more and more cuts these days. maybe they're just competing for attention along different axes

@ivan Yes, since the late 90s, there is a creep-up to satisfy attention span limits. But there is far more video produced outside the industry, and most video output goes to social, innit
