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.
To grab people’s attention, or because YouTube started autoplaying videos in the mobile app when you scroll past them so they need something to make you click at the start. If you use SponsorBlock you can skip recaps like that

+1 for SponsorBlock. I absolutely hate when videos spoil themselves within the first 3 seconds thanks to those fucking intros.
