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.
