I watch everything at least 1.25 speed depending on the show. Most YT at 1.5 speed. Once you start you can't go back to 1x. Everyone talks so slowly.

What do you do in real life.
They're clearly moving too fast to answer
Kepion over here wakes up just to reply to comments.
It's as good an excuse as any to wake up at all
Actors traditionally talk slower on film than people IRL. So I am simply bringing them up to normal speed. Watch Star Trek at 1.5x and normalise Captain Kirk's dialogue...
I'm up to 2x on anything that isn't already pretty fast to begin with. 1x is exclusively for music content.
I tried that and felt I had to concentrate too hard. So I like to keep it around 1.5x. 2001 Space odyssey, I watched at 3x and it still felt slow.
I can believe it. Done that with YouTube videos before. Since English is not my first language, I just thought my English comprehension was just off that day.
"Damn, these Americans speak too fast", until I noticed.
Did something similar to this with one of those “speed up silence” plugins. It was hard to notice cuz dialog was still 1x…
