Description

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Repetitive video intros on videos are annoying, most videos can have the first 30 seconds skipped with no ill effect. Perhaps even add an option to skip X seconds of the end as well to make playlists less annoying.

Also save your ears since many video creators have loud music during intro/outro sequences. Videos have been padded since the time youtube started favoring 10+ minute videos.
