No mention of the Wadsworth Constant? Have we forgotten it so soon?

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 4 days ago

It’s an old meme that states the first 30% of every YouTube video is useless and can be skipped without consequence. It’s a constant because it doesn’t matter if the video is 3 or 300 seconds long; The first 30% can always be skipped without missing anything important.

IIRC, it started on Reddit when a user named Wadsworth wrote about it in one of the AskReddit threads about life hacks.

Correct. And for a while yt had an Easter egg where you could add wadsworth=1 to a url and it would skip to 30% of the video

If you are using a keyboard you can press 3 and that will probably do it.
