I watch everything at least 1.25 speed depending on the show. Most YT at 1.5 speed. Once you start you can't go back to 1x. Everyone talks so slowly.
At one point I got tired and went back to 1×
We have time in life
I'm up to 2x on anything that isn't already pretty fast to begin with. 1x is exclusively for music content.
I tried that and felt I had to concentrate too hard. So I like to keep it around 1.5x. 2001 Space odyssey, I watched at 3x and it still felt slow.
What do you do in real life.
Actors traditionally talk slower on film than people IRL. So I am simply bringing them up to normal speed. Watch Star Trek at 1.5x and normalise Captain Kirk's dialogue...
