Yeah, it's obnoxious. I don't know if it's a case of limited coverage, so they're cutting together a bunch of unrelated footage to make something mostly cohesive, or if it's a time savings so they can cram more content in by cutting out the "blank" space between sentences. Or maybe something else? I dunno, but it's the talking head equivalent of a music video with really good choreography, but you can't track it because they cut every 1-2 seconds.

it's like every internet video is some max headroom poo poo, it's infuriating and i generally don't understand why they do it, is there anyone here in video production who can explain this?

Its this. I know people who do these edits for money and its essentially to chop interviews into smaller segments while keeping as much content/thoughts/talking points as possible while removing all the dead space, and "uhhhhs" and sentences that don't add anything.

that's the same soothing effect as them cutting out the tenths of a second between sentences in the part of the radio commercial when they're listing Disclaimers

Super Bowl ratings are out

And while the game was up from last year (stopping a trend of four straight years of declines since 2015’s high watermark of 114 million viewers), it was still the second least-watched Super Bowl of the last 11 years. The 102 million viewers is down by over three million from 2018 (roughly 105.5 million), and ten million down from 2017 (113 million).

The game did draw an impressive 757,000 million viewers on Fox Deportes (per NFL.com’s Gil Brandt), which appears to be the best mark ever for a Spanish broadcast.

However, when you combine Brandt’s data with that provided by Fox, it’s reasonable to do the back of envelope math and come to the conclusion that the streaming audience for Super Bowl LIV was around 1.4 million, the lowest streaming audience since 2016 (which also saw 1.4 million viewers stream the game) and over a million fewer viewers than the 2019 mark on CBS (around 2.6 million).

All in all, this is a mixed bag for Fox and the NFL. Viewership was up all season across the NFL’s TV packages, so it’s no surprise that the Super Bowl was up as well, However, while the viewership was up from last year, it still couldn’t hit the high marks of the last decade.

Is this a long term trend of Basketball becoming the dominant sport? Or just a case of "there are so many more things to do now than just watch the super bowl"

Basketball is down too, not quite as markedly as NFL though (which had an absurd peak of viewership for a while there). It's more of a "People aren't watching as much TV and the casual fan is shrinking" thing.

College gymnastics is cool and good and has less of the despair and sadness that elite level gymnastics does (at least on the women's side). It's a shame to see it being put in those terms.

That's the shot.
