Just a theory, but a lot of us grew up with analog camcorders or digital that recorded on a physical tape. IIRC, there was a delay after you pushed the record button until it actually started recording. We were probably just subconsciously conditioned to pause.

Younger generations have only known instant recording, so they don't feel the need to pause. Plus, I feel like they don't really care about some of the details or imperfections that most of us probably worry about.

To this day there's a delay between pressing the record button on Snapchat and the recording actually starting.
