I don't get the purpose of skipping scenes in a drama or even a sitcome.

I understand skipping parts of SNL or a talk show when they have an ongoing skit you don't enjoy.

But skipping parts of a drama is a great way to miss key story points. If I ever find myself disliking parts of a show that much I would just stop watching the show.

Skipping parts of a drama makes no sense to me. That is on par with people who watch shows at 2x speed or scroll on their phones when watching. Why bother, just quit watching it.
