It is specifically beneficial for watching Tennis, Boxing, League of Legends, Super Smash Brothers, Counter-Strike, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, DOTA, etc. It purposely prevents the user from knowing how much time is left in a video, thereby preventing spoilers.

Easy to use and great feature. Allows me to watch sports games like badminton without knowing the overall length of the matches ( which would tell you who is the winner after the first match)
