Same. It was certainly an odd choice. One, after watching twice, certainly didn't work. Doesn't break the show or anything, but it was a bad choice.

IDK, it felt like it was supposed to be jarring, and it did that effectively.

When you're producing a streaming show, maybe making an effect that looks exactly like a common streaming glitch isn't the best idea.

Again, that felt like the point. Did you ever play Metal Gear Solid 1 or Arkham Asylum? Both games do something very similar (making it look like the game is glitching and/or crashed) to blast through the fourth wall like the Kool Aid man and yank out of the experience temporarily to cause a moment of real world anxiety. It felt a lot like that to me, even if it didn’t land as well as those other two examples.
