Interesting, I do 1.5x for certain podcasts and tabletop like Critical Role, but even at that speed I miss things and lose comprehension (although I am usually multitasking as well)
Makes sense, in other contexts I’d watch at lower speeds (I watch starcraft games sometimes at 1.25x), but for me this is kind of like the video equivalent of skimming an article, actively reading and listening at the same time and not multitasking. I also manually skip around to get to relevant information faster.
I’d also like to mention that I’m able to do this because I use FreeTube, not because I pay for YouTube…
What do you watch on that speed? Genuine question, not saying it’s not a shitty arbitrary restriction
In this case, it was this video

I don’t usually speed it up that much bun in this case, I wanted a ‘time lapse’ stile skim of the video
Not OP but informational podcast/interview type videos that are heavy on talking and long I watch at 2.25x with subtitles on.
