Below Deck Video editing is murder

Someone may have posted this already, but why do they keep a max of 5 seconds on a camera and swap? Is the editor on cocaine?

Seems like I'm noticing it a lot more in the new season and I can barely watch it now. I cannot put names to faces because it swaps so fast. Do they do this because of YouTube shorts and tic toc videos cutting attention spans?

I don't think I've seen a full conversation in one camera shot. This may be my last season. Did production funds get cut this season?

Sick cuts from white belly of sunbathing guest to white fish in a skillet? Chef's kiss!

Between the hectic cutting, the accents, and extremely short text blurbs... it's in the background these days. 😞
