    I’m fine with waiting 10 seconds at the beginning of a video. I wonder how much YouTube would save (by reducing bandwidth, smaller caches, choosing slower storage) if they didn’t have the goal to start the video virtually immediately.

      That feature isn’t built into YT? I have it set on my browser to where the video needs to be manually started (excluding playlists).

        My point was: You don’t need to wait for it to buffer or even load. Once the page is there, the video is playable.
