If the video has some sort of intro like a motion graphic "welcome to our channel" type of thing, I click off because I feel like the rest of the video will take forever to get to the actual point.

Sometimes there is a gray area - like if you're looking for a review of a tourist destination, having an intro with scenes of the location is fitting, but putting a motion graphic logo before that right at the start...well, I don't care! Show me the place I came to look for.

I don't have a lot of patience, so when the YouTuber is playing around with my time I don't like it. The YouTuber might have a good topic, but if they're going to drag it out when a 10 minute video could be a 5 minute one, I'm not really thinking about subscribing or even liking the video.

Slow intro = slow video = slow to get to the meat of the video and give me the entertainment or information I need.

See that's the thing✅....I think it turns people off and they don't even make it to the actual content 📺 to see if it's any good or not.

Even short intros aren't good to watch. People don't have the attention span today 📉. They just want the goods! 🎁

I just don't care about intros. Show me the goods lol. I click off and find another channel that has the same info but gets to the point faster.

This.

I don't get why channels think they are good enough to show me an intro. They aren't famous, I don't care. They mean nothing to me. Just show me what I clicked for and what the video title claimed to show and don't waste my time with your crappy intro. You aren't that good. 👎👎😡
