Another reason that I can think of is that many people are watching content at a increased playback rate. I personally limit that to education content because for things like comedy it can mess with pacing. But I have friends that have used it while watching really long shows. It doesn't have to be much faster but if you think about a 10 hour series, that is approximately an hour saved. I recognize that this seems odd, but I have tried it on some shows and it honestly makes them more enjoyable. It's not universal to every show or to every person.
- smeej 4y agoI watch everything on 1.4x, but I would watch it faster if it wouldn't run into buffering issues and get glitchy. Podcasts are normally 2.2x. I just find I enjoy taking the information in more when I can do it quickly. If my brain has no trouble operating at that speed, I might as well take advantage of the chance to get more new ideas in my head!
- Viliam1234 4y agoSame here. Many movies are nice but slow; watching at 1.5× speed makes it a better experience. But then it becomes difficult to understand some dialogs, so I turn CC on.
- userbinator 4y agoI do that too - 1.5x seems to be the minimum I'll start with, and sometimes I'll go as high as 2.5x. Having subs definitely helps at the upper end of the range. On the other hand, the downside is that when you interact with people in realtime, you constantly feel like they're speaking too slowly, and others have trouble understanding what feels like a normal speed of talking for you.
