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_...
