I actually agree with everything you’re saying. My kind of meta point was that those content producers might have never made anything accessible to you, if they didn’t have access to audio or video publishing platforms. I’m not making any statement on the average quality of audiovisual content, just the barrier to entry for the production of that content. FWIW I do a lot of skipping and fast replaying too. My podcasts are usually around 2.5x. Most people perform-talk way too slow. If I weren’t able to listen that quickly while doing dishes or similar, I’d normally prefer to read.
