As described on reddit.com by user Wadsworth. The theory is that for every video on youtube you can skip the first 30% without having a negative effect of the content. This has since been extrapolated to written content as well.
"There are 55 characters including spaces in this sentence.
According to the Wadsworth Constant we should remove the first 16.5 characters, let's give it a go.
ld be known as the Wadsworth Constant.
It is also known in the Wadsworth Constant that we should round to the nearest logical point. We are left with:
Be known as the Wadsworth Constant."

Get the Wadsworth Constant (Xi)mug. A term coined by Wadsworth on Reddit.com.
The Wadsworth Constant is simply either the removal of the first 30% of selected content or the singular usage of only the first 30% of selected content.

Get the Wadsworth Constantmug. When watching online videos, the Wadsworth Constant states the first 30% of the video will not be pertinent or necessary. The viewer will be able to watch the second 70% without any loss.
This theory holds true to most videos and statements, assuming everything is rounded to the most logical point.
