0.000 HBDThe Wadsworth Constant
Back in 2011, the Reddit user Wadsworth responded to a Reddit comment linked an instructional video on how to fold a bedsheet.  > For EVERY youtube video, I always open the video and then immediately punch the slider bar to about 30 percent. For example, in this video, it should have just started at :40. Everything before :40 was a waste. This holds true for nearly every video in the universe. In other words, Wadsworth claims you can skip the first 30% of any video and not lose much of the meaning. In my experience, this is works quite well. In fact, it was so accurate Google added a hidden feature to YouTube to skip ahead 30%. Any video on YouTube you can apply the Wadsworth Constant by adding `&wadsworth=1` to the end of the URL. If your a keyboard junky like me, just hit the 3 key on your keyboard when you start a video and it will skip to 30% immediately. There is no way to do this on DTube videos as far as I know without just skipping ahead, if there is, let me know! Give it a try on some videos and see if it holds true for you. I don't always do it, but I do use it a lot.  </br> ### My recent popular posts * [How curation rewards work and how to be a kick ass curator](https://steemit.com/curation/@themarkymark/how-curation-rewards-work-and-how-to-be-a-kick-ass-curator) * [Markdown 101 - How to make kick ass posts on Steemit](https://steemit.com/steemit/@themarkymark/markdown-101-how-to-make-kick-ass-posts-on-steemit) * [Work ON your business, not in your business! - How to succeed as a small business](https://steemit.com/business/@themarkymark/work-on-your-business-not-in-your-business-how-to-succeed-as-a-small-business) * [You are not entitled to an audience, you need to earn it!](https://steemit.com/steemit/@themarkymark/you-are-not-entitled-to-an-audience-you-need-to-earn-it) * [UFC Fight Pass and Steem Witness caught secretly mining cryptocurrency on their paid service](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@themarkymark/ufc-fight-pass-caught-secretly-mining-cryptocurrency-on-their-paid-service) * [Building a Portable Game Console](https://steemit.com/raspberrypi/@themarkymark/building-a-portable-game-console) <center>[)](http://www.steemit.com/@buildawhale)</center> [](https://steemit.com/~witnesses)
