YouTube's latest experiment lets you jump to the best part of a video

Will this new experimental feature finally convince you to subscribe to YouTube Premium?

This feature uses a smart AI system to analyze viewing patterns and automatically suggests skipping to the best parts of a video through a quick double-tap interaction. "The way it works is, if a viewer double-taps to skip ahead on an eligible segment, we’ll show a jump-ahead button that will take them to the next point in the video that we think they’re aiming for," as per YouTube's Creator Insider channel. For those of us who can't wait to get to the good part of a video, having an easy way to tap straight to the most popular section, as decided by AI, could be super handy.
