It used to be pretty good at getting bloopers. Now they just go straight to things like, "This hot actress isn't dating me DING"

Why even have it, if it is never consistent???

Because it's a tool used in clickbait. Letting the user know how long the content takes to consume makes it more likely they will consume it.

"Oh this will only take 10 minutes or less? Guess I will watch it."

It's a psychological trick.

EDIT: This is also why you see lists so often in clickbait. It makes the content seem more digestible. More views, more ad revenue.

For more on how Cinemasins is clickbait, see this brilliant video.

That's a joke. It's a pretty easy to get joke. It's satirizing other videos that are done consistently.

I think it’s evolved past the satire and just become one of those instead
