How did the shaky handheld camera with abrupt zoom thing become a trend and how can we make it stop? Unless it's a battle scene, it's ridiculous and makes me want to punch the director and/or cinematographer.

I'm watching some National Geographic docuseries that are heavily using this technique. I mean, COME ON.

@voltronic Actually, now that I think on it, it was probably begun by that awful series "Cops".
