‘It ain’t much but it’s honest work’
I’ve yet to encounter a video that wasn’t mapped already. Thanks for working so quick.
I did once, and during my submission process someone else submitted it first. I do know how to create them now though! I’ll be ready for next time.
Right?! Yesterday GamersNexus published a new video 3 minutes before I watched it. It only had a couple dozen views at that point, but somehow somebody had already mapped it!
The view counter tends to lag behind
I was early on a few high-profile videos, I guess.
Check out DeArrow. Made by same person to crowd source non-click bait titles and thumbnails (using a screen shot from the video).
“You won’t belive this new gadget can do this” -> “review of (product name)”
“I ate 100 hotdogs in a day!” -> “Mr. Beast knock-off #32 wonders the streets and eats 3 hotdogs at a few street shops.”
Not as many as some of the other people in here but mine’s not bad. Haven’t submitted anything in like a year too… It appears as though my stats are off a bit. I mostly watch YouTube on mobile and it’s reporting more submitted segments (same time saved) but strangely more personal segments skipped on mobile for less time I’ve personally saved. It’s using the same SB account thing so I douno whats up with that. Brings me to the same leaderboard even so who knows
114 days and over half of a million skipped segments.
I wish you could contribute to sponsor block while only viewing from free tube

Now we just need people to stop abusing the “highlight/get to the point” option.
Its great for “listen to my whole life story before I tell you how to fix this super obscure computer problem”
Not so great for “watch me build this cool table” skips to the final result.
I disagree? It skips to the highlight. If I came here to see the cool table, I wanna see the cool table, not the 15 minutes beforehand of the guy talking about tableology and his quest to find the optimal oak polish. Highlights don’t skip automatically by default, so it harms nothing having it there for videos you personally don’t want to use it on; if I’m in the mood to see a longform video, I will, and if I just want to see the cool thing displayed in the thumbnail, I will.
I also kind of enjoy the memey ones, like how most uploads of the beatmania song Second Heaven have the infamous SOMEBODY SCREAM tagged as a highlight. It’s a fun little moment of “someone else was here before me for the same thing, and they left a trace”, kinda like a dark souls message.
Maybe you might argue that should be a different category? But personally I think your definition of highlight is rather narrow
