Do you sometimes play the videos in your mother tongue in 2x speed?

Why not if it's sometimes a youtuber just speaking?

I have watched some videos at 1.25 or 1.5 speed if it's just like a meme reading thing.

How and why would I even want to watch anything on my mothers tongue regardless of speed?

To answer your question though, naw, I tend to want to understand what I'm listening to.

Sometimes. It's pretty ridiculous, but funny. Usually do it videos I've watched before though.

Sometimes, if the person speaking is talking too slow.

 

[Magolor04726]

I used to but I don't anymore because I realized I need to take time to enjoy it and that people put hard work (sort of) into their videos. (Unless I'm rewatching my Mario Odyssey video, then I play it 2X speed because it's dumb and long.)

 

[Morbid Minish]

Very rarely. I have a hard time following videos if they're 2x speed. Also it just sounds unnatural to me.

 

[VikzeLink]

Anything I watch, I want to watch at it's intended speed. If I just rush everything to "save time" I'll just feel more stressed and I'll not be able to take it all in

I usually watch certain videos like lectures at 1.5x speed so i can get through them quicker while still understanding what is being said. 2x is typically too fast to manage and still understand unless the person talking just talks really slow.

If it’s for school and the teacher talks somewhat slow, it’s a huge timesaver for me. Honestly helps me pay more attention because I have to focus more and it’s less of an endless drone.

 

[Mikey the Moblin]

lots of people I know listen to videos at 1.25 or 1.5 speed because people do generally tend to talk slower than we can comprehend

meanwhile I'm over here listening to league of legends podcasts at .75x speed because I'm starved for content and trying to make it last as long as possible

 

[Link&Midna]

If it's for school, I sometimes watch it faster just to get it over with.

 

[Jimmu]

Sometimes if I'm doing some long LinkedIn Learning course I'll chuck that on 1.5 or 2x speed - especially if I already know part of the content.
