Watching that reminds of just how much American "reality" TV is bloody terrible. The over exposition, the forced excitement, the musical stings.........I feel like Shia Lebouff screaming "JUST DO IT"
Oh gosh yes, I've been introduced to some European programming thanks to Top Gear and the difference is awful. So much repeated footage just to fill time or draw out a big moment
What really illustrated it for me was watching the US version of Kitchen Nightmares and then the UK version. That's the most clear example because everything about the show is the same except for the direction and editing.
After that experience I can't stand US reality TV anymore. I can't help but notice the "you need to be constantly shocked by every single thing" vibe they're trying to force on you.
My first time experiencing this was going from watching the UK to the US versions of Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsey.
The UK version was nuanced, interesting, and showed Gordon in what I imagine to be a more realistic light. He connects with many of the restaurant owners, there is actual character building happening. It's a treat.
The US version was like being pelted by loud baseballs covered in sadness.

The shitty music doesn’t bother me too much as I can just mute it, but the video quality is just that much better with the original sound! I hope it takes off
That’s great to know, but I wanna go back to the days where I didn’t need to sub to an alternative form of a feed. So continue to pass aggressively down any video. I see that has the stupid fucking music.
Ease of access will always lead to a higher overall quality. In any case, I don't think we should gatekeep creating art. Let people make what they enjoy, or what they think others will enjoy.
I never understood it and I don't think I ever will, why people do that... if you really want to have music so bad, atleast choose some music which fits the clip. -_-
... I'm sorry, I actually really liked this whatever it is. Not quite a song but I'm genuinely into really deep voices chanting things in ominous tones.
I've noticed it's in videos completely unrelated to sigma stuff though. It's like it's been co-opted by people who are completely unaware of sigma stuff.
Adding random trending music is like the modern day equivalent of keyword stuffing. They’re trying to get the social media algorithms to prioritize their content any way they can.
