Sponsorblock: For Wadsworth, for what it’s worth.
I never noticed before, but almost all the channels I follow break the Wadsworth constant. They jump straight into content and leave any ad/patreon reads to the end. I wonder if I subconsciously did that or if its a happy coincidence.
I don’t know if this is common knowledge, but if you hit 3 on your keyboard after starting a youtube video, it takes you straight to one third of the video played. So the Wadsworth Constant is already integrated into Youtube and has been for years.
I keep running into this by accident, especially when I’m trying to change tabs with Ctrl + number and jump off the Ctrl too fast.
lol. I’m the one who coined the term after Wadsworth came up with the concept!
And then you applied the concept to your username before registering here? Thats dedication.
Thanks for your service.

You can also apply it when watching a YouTube video by appending “&wadsworth=1” to the url.
While this particular method doesn’t work on desktop you can hit the number 3 and it will jump to 30% into the video. I’m sorry mobile users.

I just confirmed that this no longer works :(
I remember when it did. Here is the 2011 reddit post from the youtube employee who implemented it
Yeah, it was before YouTube got really Googled up.
Damn. The Internet was so much cooler 12 years ago.
Don’t think that works anymore.
Same for online recipes. The content you want is never at the top.

Paste the stupid blog url in the sites search to remove the useless crap. Works most of the time.
Porn is the same, the first third is learning her name and getting her clothes off.
