hi kate beanie thank uu for your lovely reply about dnpg's editing from a lil while ago, i'm sorry it took me so long to reply <33 ;o; you've really hit the nail on the head for me with the gen z fast editing and excessive cuts mid-thought, and watching the bubble tea viddy and only a minute in, it's become so apparent that it was the change that bothers me the most ;;; you've helped realise that what i was missing was the pauses and quiet in the old videos, it helped make them so soothing and comforting in a way that feels like i'm just breathing with them. and now that the editors haven taken it away in exchange for quick memes, it's really taken that comfort away and left me wondering why i didn't feel the same comfy joy by the end of the new videos anymore, while instead feeling like i had just consumed another social media content, rather than dnp,, ;_;

hiii :) firstly, thank you so much for writing all of this, and in such a nice tone! i get what you mean, 100%. your conclusion about "time spent to just be" and "time spent to consume" is so good! when i read it yesterday my brain froze for a second with the realisation that you probably worded it perfectly. i would never come to this myself (the consumption part). maybe because i don't perceive youtube content as something i consume. it's never fast for me, since i watch long video essays. but if you compare dnpg's editing to how i scroll through instagram, then yes! there are similarities in pace.

now. about the bubble tea video. yesterday Char @simplydnp said that the pacing of it was better than usual. and after watching it, i have to agree? it is a little bit better, there's definitely some room to breathe. but it still has jumpcuts in the middle of the sentences. for example, at 3:34. either i'm dumb af or we don't hear what Phil says, we only see Dan's edited reaction. and i doubt it was a reaction to Phil saying "it really pleases me". there's a missing shot there (and it's not the only rough jumpcut, i just wanted to show an example). but overall, the editing is chiller than SuperSeizer's usual. which is great, more of that please.

dnpg's pre-hiatus videos are soo slow. no extra cuts or whatsoever. i opened Clickbait not that long ago, and damnnnn the difference is so noticeable, i cried.
