What do you watch on that speed? Genuine question, not saying it's not a shitty arbitrary restriction

For me personally, until a month ago I had no idea why people would prefer to watch at faster speed.

Then I was assigned 10 hours of training at work, and it was all the worst fucking videos you've ever seen, no editing for clarity or brevity, points being repeated ad nausea. Repeating footage. And it's not like I could skip vast portions of it, I never knew when a little piece of key information would be snuck in which was in the knowledge test.

Finally said to myself fuck this and I put it on 2x. I found it kind of life-changing in that moment and I'm going to consider using faster watch speeds from now on.

Ive experienced that too :) These companies that make training videos for employees, seems like anyone could succeed there. Literally no quality, but thats fine, the manager gets his checkbox checked, all employees trained.

Not OP but informational podcast/interview type videos that are heavy on talking and long I watch at 2.25x with subtitles on.

[–] PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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)

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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...

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
