I genuinely watch videos at 1.5x or 1.75x speed, I became used to it and watching at normal speed feels weird now
I'm always afraid that pacing will destroy meaningful silences and breath for nuanced threads of thought. Do you find that to be so, or not so much?
I even enable the setting in LibreTube to intentionally skip silences. I do the same in my podcast app (AntennaPod), and I even listen to some podcasts at 3x speed. I never really had trouble understanding things, but YMMV. Just try it out and see what works for you :)
