The Wadsworth Constant originated from a 2011 Reddit comment where user Wadsworth suggested that the first 30 percent of any video contains no useful information and can be skipped without missing anything important. This 'rule' quickly became internet law, with YouTube even briefly supporting a specialized URL parameter that would automatically jump to the 30% mark of a video. In meme culture, it is used to satirize bloated introductions, tedious tutorials, and the general tendency of creators to add filler content. Whether applied to academic papers, podcasts, or social media clips, the constant remains a staple of internet efficiency culture, reminding everyone that the best part usually starts later.
