How do people watch videos at 2x speed? I don't know if it's just me but I can only do it for a couple of minutes before I stop following along.


2x is slow, 4x keeps you on your toes.


They are in a hurry to get to the next video that needs watching.


It's a matter of getting used to. I raised it little by little and I'm comfortable at 3x in most videos now.


Usually, if a video is too slow I find it frustrating and I'm more likely to stop watching or increase the speed.

It's not like I'm actually following along with a screwdriver and iPhone so I don't need to watch it at 1x speed.


I sometimes watch at 1.5-2ish speed since many variants of American accent speak sooooo, sooooooo slowly.

Also the general Youtuber culture of speaking slowly to draw out video length = more ads.
