So who is it for? This is everywhere. It's in YT shorts, Instagram posts, etc. As a style, it's getting pretty ubiquitous, and I don't understand the reason for it. At best it's annoying because if I look away for a split second, I'll miss a couple words and it won't make sense anymore.

Well. A good assumption in life is if something is popular, and you don't get it, it's not for you so don't worry.

People like weird shit.

I personally find that words on screen keeps my attention. But it annoys me if the thing I'm watching isn't worth my attention. So it's 50/50.
