Didn't make it that far. Time is too precious to waste on someone that is purposely wasting it.

> Time is too precious to waste Sure. Which is why my default youtube playback speed is 1.5X.

  Mine has just kept getting faster and faster, thanks to this Chrome extension[1]. Right now I average 2.5x speed for most videos, and 2.2x for people that talk fast. [1] https://github.com/igrigorik/videospeed https://github.com/igrigorik/videospeed

      Are there video players or plugins having "dynamic" speedup? Like, playing everything faster by a fixed amount isn't optimal. Maybe the words could be said 3x faster, the breaks between words however be kept at 1.5x faster as to not make it one big mush, and space between sentences some third amount. Edit: I see some podcasts app have something similar (albeit opposite). It shortens dead space between two people talking and try to not affect the speed of their speech.

        Skip Silence[1] for chrome does exactly that. [1]https://vantezzen.github.io/skip-silence/ https://vantezzen.github.io/skip-silence/

      Nightcore is a remix genre of music that is basically "turn the speed (and pitch) up". It can be surprisingly good.

    This one is recommended for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/videospeed/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/videospeed/ I find that most videos are understandable up to 3x. I watch most of them at 2.5-2.8x, down to 2x for people that talk fast or with a hard accent. Same for podcasts.
