I am sorry to say, that I do this.
and it is indeed for this reason
It has been conjectured that the reason why people older than zoomers tend to include a pause at the start of their videos is to make sure that the device they are using is actually recording before beginning to say anything.
It’s called professionalism goddammit
makes it a helluva lot easier to edit you ROTTEN KIDS
I don’t do this, but mainly because I don’t record videos.
Cliff Richard had to redraft the lyrics a few times before he nailed it.
Voicenotes be like
I don’t understand this.
I don’t do this, but only because I’m aware of it and I don’t want the kids to think I’m uncool
Something about what does millennial bear use to eat her porridge?
I do this but then I edit that shit out so young people won’t make fun of me
MANCHES eyes are focused slightly downward from the simulated eye contact of the consummate professional presenter - he is looking at his own reflection in the screen, briefly scanning it for the minor imperfections of hair and nostril, before sending his eyes upwards to look amiably down the barrel of the camera. A smile forms - first a practice smile, and then the final one that will accompany this video’s message. He allows the silence to continue for a few more seconds. In this time, you - the viewer - can nigh-on imperceptibly hear fragments of everyday sounds - a car passing outside, the creak of someone walking upstairs - the bitty digital crumbs that escape through the on-board noise reduction algorithm on MANCHES’ phone. Confident that enough time has passed, the hideous fuck begins to speak.
MANCHES: Bussing fam! No cap
Full on John Cage Pause for me.
gen z shake

Surely you’re a millenial if you’re born on the millenium?
I refuse to be called a millenial!
Is that like that Kae Tempest video from a few years back?
Until very recently we didn’t commonly divide ourselves into these marketing categories and form identities and rivalries around them. Sorry if that’s a bit millennial of me to point out.
The other generations are also doing this pause….just editing it out.
do many of us actually record videos for social media?
can’t say i’ve ever noticed this tbh
You’ve got to hand it to them - getting people to publically identify and align themselves into increasingly niche target markets is an incredible success for the advertising industry.
