- abeisgreat 3y agoI never understand why people consume content like this accelerated. For me, I feel like if I felt the need to rush through something then it’s not worth consuming at all.
- xzel 3y agoFor me it’s mostly how slow some people talk. This is especially true for some content when I can understand it at a higher speed, for example Dota replays. I feel like I’ll get more out of the time watching two in the same when I can understand 95% of the nuance. I also have ADHD so wanting it to be faster could easily be part of that.

- xattt 3y agoBoomers complained how Gen X rotted their brain by channel flipping.
- _nalply 3y agoNo, Silent Generation did that about Boomers.
- nickburns 3y agono, Great Generation did that about Silent.
- lupusreal 3y agoWhat does that prove? They might well both be right.
- xattt 3y agoEvery new generation faces some form of peril touted to be the coming of end times by the outgoing generation. From a 50,000-ft view of the collective, it looks gross and seems like there’s no end in sight. However, individuals can still take responsibility to find a balance between excesses that society provides and complete avoidance of any forms of entertainment.
- kevin_thibedeau 3y ago10 minutes watching YouTube is 10 minutes of your life you'll never get back. I 2x everything unless it needs to be experienced in realtime.
- patcon 3y agoHonestly, not everyone has the same mental clockspeed. I have friends who seem to quite literally think 7x faster than everyone else. But to be fair, they don't do as much side-band emotional processing and tangential thought as me. I process "off the beaten path" of the recorded narrative, so I like realtime speed, bc it lets me relate other thoughts to what I'm hearing. But that's just my slow relational mind :)
- ranger207 3y agoPersonally it helps me understand it more because it requires more concentration. I've always needed to be doing something while listening or watching things, but the problem is that I can distract myself doing that and not actually pay attention to the actual thing at all. Turning the speed up forces me to concentrate more and it's harder to get distracted
- Hnrobert42 3y agoThis. I have ADHD. If I watch at normal speed, I get bored and my mind wanders.
- 14 3y agoIt’s all about time. I can consume, enjoy and take in content like this much faster than it is presented. Speeding it up let’s me enjoy more content
- cess11 3y agoSo you don't believe in scientists when they say that the conscious has a low, fairly constant bandwidth? Like what, 50 b/s?
- Adverblessly 3y agoSounds like a great reason to watch that 30 b/s video at at least 1.5x speed.
- 14 3y agoI think it is safe to say we know not all people take in information at the same rate. Also some people process different forms of information at different rates. Some people can read a book and understand it clearly. Others see it once and they learn the skill. So no I do not fully believe what scientist have claimed. That may be an average or the normal but not true in every case. Furthermore how do you actually measure what rate of information that video was presenting information at? It definitely was not at a steady rate as well lots of pauses and dead spots. Speeding the video up removes some of that dead space. Also there is the depth of the information. We are not working out space time curvature equations we are being shown precious stone cutting. If I was trying to learn the skill maybe even normal speed would be too fast and slowing it down or repeating sections may be needed. But as I was just trying to get an idea of the subject a faster speed is fine. I guess what I’m thinking is there are lots of factors to consider.
- ddoolin 3y agoMost of it is pretty long sequences of him cutting the same facets or polishing, so not really much to glean from many of those sequences.
