Tangents/Jokes

Tangents / jokes is for tangential scenes or jokes that are not required to understand the main contents of the video.

Description

This includes:

Timelapses / B-roll
Fake sponsors
Slow motion clips that do not provide any context or are used as replays or B-roll footage
Bloopers
Irrelevant/ tangential parts
- Video author being distracted by something unrelated to the video
- Unrelated highlight clips that don't provide any context, are not elaborated on and don't fit into preview.

If any other category can be applied (mute or skip), choose them instead. Tangent is the lowest priority category.
In most cases, tangents should not be mute. Mute tangents should mostly be used for chaining to a skip.

Not included:

Similar to other categories, do not mark entire videos.

1. Provides context.
2. Useful explanations or analogies.
