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.
Many popular channels revised their content format as a direct consequence of the Wadsworth constant
Yep. Try to apply the Wadsworth constant to Veritassium and you'll miss almost all the context of the video.
Or ProjectFarm. That guy jumps straight in and leaves ZERO room for any BS.
If he's testing ten things you'd skip him naming them all and mentioning price and commenting on (usually) unimportant things.
I’d say that’s context. Why would I watch the video without knowing what he’s testing? The constant can’t definitely be taken too far.
It's when he's got a lot of items that it drives me nuts. I want to get to the testing so I can criticize his methodology to myself.
Calebcity and Prozd skits often go straight in also.
Must be channels that actually have worthwhile content that keeps viewers interested rather than the 90/8/1/1 ratio of most YT videos. 1% intro, 1% finish, 8% actual content, 90% BS, shenanigans, review of previous videos, sponsors, ads, and demands for like and subscribe.
