when a video you’re streaming is buffering, why does it load faster when you rewind a little as opposed to just letting it buffer on its own?

Id imagine 1 of 2 things is happening.

1. Your restarting the buffer/download and it could be getting a better connection the second time.

2. Its an illusion and its not faster you’ve just wasted enough time rewinding/waiting for it to buffer that when you watch the thing the content is now loaded far enough that watching the movie won’t catch up.
