At least Youtube has a timeline (with sometimes even chapters) that let you jump ahead. The thumbnails are also a good indication on what type of content you can expect from a video.

Web pages have a timeline in the form of a scroll bar on the right

Actually that's a cool idea, put a graph on the scroll bar which shows where most people spent their time, same as the Youtube widget.

Medium kinda does something like this by highlighting the most shared part. Alternatively, you can also use AI to summarize the text on web pages.

Most YouTube junk does not even have a proper meaningful description, just some buzzwords for SEO.
