Does anyone else think that making videos that are overly edited is overkill?

Over the years I've settled for editing videos to a moderate degree, mainly just cutting out the "uhhs, umm" and the dead spaces or mistakes, messing about with the anchor points for zooming in the webcam or the gameplay to enhance how funny something is and the addition of some memes scattered in there. However... Some of these top YouTubers with hundreds of thousands to millions of subscribers, have the overly edited videos with all these effects and pop-ups, like every 3 seconds and whilst I do know a large sum of these creators have paid editors at that point.. I really just think it's overkill, like all that editing for a video that will last around 10 to 15 minutes on average and people will most likely forget about it.😂 Not to mention that simplicity feels more true to the platform, moderate to minimal editing is really how YouTube was supposed to be if you ask me, hell, even some people shot a video in one take back then and uploaded it..😆 I'm just curious as to if anyone else prefers the simple editing?
