Idk, I like natural flow just fine, it’s just that some people talk slowly compared to others (to e.g. James Duane or Cory Doctorow). I can’t imagine removing every pause from a talk — or rather, I’ve seen videos that are edited that way, and it’s quite jarring.

In fact, I’d prefer if audiobooks had more pauses in appropriate places, namely between chapters. I need a bit of time to file what I just heard under ‘a section ended’ without going into another one without a break.
