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.

    The worst on short video platforms is when they give away the twist.

    It’s a ten second video of a cat doing something funny. I’m already watching it. I don’t need text and a bunch of emojis overlayed over the video, telling me I NEED to see what happens when something unexpected happens to the cat.
