I don't mind keeping it at 30.30. I just like to know why I'm doing something. It tends to be streaming video, so my current assumption is that some popular software (maybe OBS) defaults to 30.30 or something.

<p>I typically resample the framerate to 30 when I'm encoding (much of my source video was streamed and has unreliable native framerate). But these 30.30 videos I tend to leave at 30.30 just because I don't know why it's like that and don't want to mess with it.</p>

Never heard of it. I doubt that it’s common, but maybe in a certain niche? What source created the videos? Could your player software be misrepresenting the frame rate? Can you check with an alternate method?

A framerate of 30.30 has become common the past couple years. What is it about the number 30.30 that is significant? Why not an even 30, for example?

30.30 isn't a standard frame rate. I think you see it a lot because mobile phones (especially iPhones) only "target" certain frame rates, they don't necessarily perfectly deliver them.
