    Gameplay videos. Music. Anything where the tempo and or physics actually matter.

    I’m not a 2x man though. I’m probably usually around 1.2–1.5x. 2x just gets jittery. They’d have to be a really slow talker for that speed. I don’t usually watch content where people talk that slowly.

    Talking about theory or ideas. If a video is a really wordy and theoretical one then I usually listen to it in the background. Ironically, I don’t really watch ANYTHING on YouTube anymore - I just listen to stuff

    Usually ones that heavily involve music, because it really screws with the sound. Especially if there’s a lot of bass.

    But I’m usually only watching at 2x because either I’m trying to watch something before work, or because the narrator is just speaking way too slowly.

    I do watch some videos at 1.5x speed…

    Louis Rossman ranting at 1.0x is the equivalent of anybody else at 1.5x

    nah, I usually watch videos on 1x and skip through (how to’s and whatnot). if a video isn’t entertaining at the presented speed, I don’t watch it
