Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium"
Fizz@lemmy.nz 22 hours agoHave you seen people who complain about written jnfo his video info? Its because they can read thr info faster than listening to it be said. But if you speed it up to 2x or 3x then it becomes the same as reading in terms of time. You get used to it over time. I can’t listen to anything at 1x speed anymore.

I’ve thought about dipping my toes into this but I don’t want to start getting antsy when people talk IRL

Do NOT do it. I dont think the time saved is worth it. It hasnt changed irl stuff for me but any media feels painfully slow. I had to listen to a 1hr video conference with a group on 1x speed and I felt like I was being tortured. I had to refocused myself every sentence because i couldn’t hold attention on sentences that were being said so slowly.
If you want to consume info fast then reading is way better.

This is me but backwards sort of. Media has always been painfully slow for me and it wasn’t until I found the playback speed settings that I could tolerate watching most things. ADHD is wild.
