I'm not sure that I see the distinction here: whether it's about a playthrough of a game or a discussion of weighty matters, the video itself is the creation of the You Tuber. Thus any measures applied to the video by them (or their editor(s))—like a fast-forward of the footage—is their work, and thus no more "user-created" than is the game being played in the case of a Let's Play.

Are you talking about them fast forwarding through another youtube video they're reviewing or something?

If so, [Trope Name] and Blah, Blah, Blah for two ways of lampshading "and then some other stuff happens" while fast-forwarding through stuff.

Time-Compression Montage would cover things like a minecraft let's play editing 40 minutes of building the new wing of the factory down to a 10 second montage of the important and/or funny parts.

Just skipping over non-relevant parts of something, though, would be the usual aversion of Real Time; a concept so omnipresent as to be meaningless.
