A little bit offtopic, but are people really going ballistic over Netflix speed up feature? Has no one ever noticed Youtube has supported this since forever? Or that most video players have this feature? I also seem to remember plain DVD players having the ability to alter speed.

- thrownblown 7y agobut that raises the pitch of the audio
- hqrlk 7y agoReminds me of this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21405779 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21405779 -- "the creator should decide how his creation is experienced!" -- no, fuck you, I paid for this and I'm doing with it whatever I like.
- JoshTriplett 7y agoI turn it on myself in the web console, which works on Amazon as well: document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].playbackRate = 1.5
- darepublic 7y agodocument.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 2;
- com2kid 7y agoThere are browser plugins for Chrome and Firefox that enable video speed controls on all HTML5 video elements. My second favorite plugin of all time, right behind uBlock.
- lisper 7y agoThe ones going ballistic over this are content creators who think that their artistic vision is being compromised. Everyone else either likes the feature or doesn't care.
- wpietri 7y agoWow, nobody tell them about "Netflix and chill".
