I see this trend lately where a lot of youtubers tend to face and look at multiple cameras while they are explaining stuff.

I don’t know if it adds anything to the experience. Sometimes I even feel dizzy, probably my brain not able to process so many movements while trying to understand them.

Do you find it amusing ?

It's just the new trend. One person starts it and has a successful video, and then everyone else follows it regardless of whether or not that was the reason for success. But I'll take it over constantly using jump cuts every 5 seconds. That shit has been obnoxious for years. Most of the things I watch on YouTube these days are educational stuff so I don't see either of these things that often. The only time I'm okay with the multiple angles is if they use it as like a "tangent camera" for when you know they are going off script or just expressing their opinions on what they are talking about. You know, an actual reason for two cameras instead of just "oooo look at me."

The YouTube trend that's been pissing me off are the YouTubers that change the thumbnail and title an hour after it's posted because it's not getting enough views and then make a community post talking about how it's the best video they ever made.
