Many years ago kids before the advent of things like YouTube the Jump Cut was quite an uncommon occurrence.
They were used very sparingly as a means by which to create an effect but due to their tendency to be jarring to the audience, “sparingly” would be an understatement.
The only other time a jump cut appeared was when the filmmaker had royally messed up and added two shots in a row with almost no difference between them.
By that I mean no change of character, no change of scene and probably most importantly, no change of 30° or more in the shooting angle.
These days we have become accustomed to them through sheer repetition with a great many YouTube videos merrily jump cutting their way through life!
Anyway there are things you can do with a jumpcut and things you may want to avoid.
In the article linked below you can see all of that stuff.

This may mean that you need to deactivate a device occasionally to get another active.
