I watch most IT/Technical videos at 1.5-2x speed. Especially tutorial style videos. Most creators use a very long and drawn out way of speaking in order to keep the viewer on the same page, but most of the time I know the core concepts already, so I don’t need the super detailed parts only the barebones.
That’s what I wanted to know. Until I realised I don’t care how people watch YouTube and that it’s more annoying to me that Google is paywalling something that costs them nothing to implement.
I don’t know what YouTube does when you increase playback speed, but a lot of people who listen to podcast-type material or lectures will use software that has the ability to time-stretch the playback without changing the pitch. That is, we can often understand people perfectly well speaking more quickly than they actually do.
I imagine that some people are most-likely looking at content of that sort on YouTube.
This was a video of a machine treating pomegranate seeds 🤷 don’t ask
But it was filmed in a lot of detail and there was no need to watch the whole thing. The creators should probably have made a highlights video instead.
Why and what type of videos are you watching at 2x speed?
Idk what to tell you, a lot of youtubers talk pretty fuckin slow

I watch basically everything that isn’t music or advanced mathematics at 2x speed. YouTubers talk so slowly.

It’s for people who want to skim but not to read.
I would give anything to skim an article rather than sit through a 10 minute video for the one thing I need to know.
