Not sure if I can explain this well but a lot of YouTube videos nowadays start with a small clip of the video itself. Does anyone know why this trend started? Is it an algorithm strategy?
Maybe most people like it, but it’s It’s very off putting for me and I find myself having to skip most intros.
I think it originated in TV, they’ve been doing that for a while. Sort of a teaser of a highlight to get the viewers hooked. Yeah, I dislike that too. But maybe it helps some people in choosing the content they like to watch.
