Same. Returning to 1x speed makes people sound (to my 2x-abused ears) drunk and slurring their works. If I want to listen to something slowly and carefully, I will just about tolerate 1.25x. What really frustrates me is watching/listening to discussion of music, because I am forced to listen to the talking at 1x because the music sounds wrong (and is wrong) at anything other than 1x.

Playing music at 1x should be a pretty simple feature to add to those apps. Ideally it should be done while encoding.

The funny thing is that slow talkers sound normal at 2x speed. It's jarring when you hear their actual speech.

  I listen to podcasts at 1x. But there are a few people I've done podcasts with that I do various audio tricks to speed up.

  And then there is Dwarkesh who sounds like 2x on 1x.

  Norman Finkelstein is a notable example of this.
