  I may be mandela effecting, but was there a time you could do ?t=wadsworth or some other param to skip the first 30%. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-wadsworth-constant https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-wadsworth-constant

    Yeah, I remember that. Specifically what I remember is a discussion on reddit about how a lot of youtube videos have useless stuff in the first ~30% and someone who joined the comments -- wadsworth -- also happened to work at youtube. Apparently with enough freedom to have an extra parameter check deployed to production. Probably around 2012. The parameter I remember was wadsworth=1. Edit: Got the story wrong. Wadsworth was just a commenter with an opinion and someone who worked at youtube had a sense of humor. https://old.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/kxfxy/and_so_ends_20_years_of_frustration/c2o1cyy/ https://old.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/kxfxy/and_so_ends_20_... https://old.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/kxfxy/and_so_ends_20_years_of_frustration/c2r40tq/ https://old.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/kxfxy/and_so_ends_20_...

      Wadsworth's constant lives on in spirit via SponsorBlock blocking all the intro BS and allowing users to set a timestamp as a highlight with a button to skip to said highlight. I use that feature all the time.

    Yes, this was possible before but doesn't seem like it works now. Post on reddit by person who added this feature: https://old.reddit.com/r/wadsworth/comments/l461y/today_i_made_it_possible_to_go_straight_to_the/ https://old.reddit.com/r/wadsworth/comments/l461y/today_i_ma...

    What a coincidence I was thinking about this feature just a couple of days ago and couldn’t remember the name of the Wadsworth Constant.

  Slight nitpick: &t=4m20s YouTube will have ?v=[SOME ID] so you can't reuse the question mark.
