Slowly though. Watching is wasting a lot of time, and nearly everyone on there stretches it out in the name of "content" and sponsers.
There are a few that don't, but realistically, that knowledge is elsewhere. It's a shame people don't self host videos as much any more. I just embed them in my web page if I absolutely need to.
Or simply make the files available, which if you look around, a lot of them are out there, so download and watch at your pace, and delete when done.
