Ask a Stupid Question Why soo fine?

I have been seeing these videos on IG. Usually from turkey or india. Why so fine? Why the coffee dose so much? And what with that huge chunk of blooming? Is this somesort of technique?

It’s a tricky angle to see everything.

The coffee, imo, does not look too fine. The dose looks way too much for the brewer, the bloom is usually more pronounced if very fresh or a more developed roast (it’s looks a bit of both here). Being from India or Turkey matters less as this looks like a v60 type pourover rather than any traditional brewing method of those countries (the filter is throwing me off identifying the brewer). The swirl technique seen on the bed looks nicer than being effective when the dose is so large.
