Does vimeo have some sort of unspoken rule that all videos must have a hundred cuts a minute or something? This style of film making is incredibly obnoxious.

It's shown to increase excitement and therefore engagement.

It is also shown to decrease the information density (w.r.t. the actual subject matter) of a video. So you have engaged viewers watching a video of less substance... Reevaluate what you are optimizing for.
