Didn't really hurt but more like sting. I published a popular video and someone wrote they needed to switch from their usual 2x speed watching videos to 1x because of my accent.

I get it, English is my 4th language so it won't be very smooth. But I've been using it for 99โ„… of my conversations since I moved to Korea 3 years ago and I feel I'm better in it than almost everyone I interact with here.

Who the hell watches videos at 2x speed anyway?

For folks with ADHD, like myself, slow talking video essays are a special kind of hell.

Agreed. I'm convinced that most YouTube videos are slowed by 25%. The ones I watch are barely tolerable at 125% speed. I usually run them at 150%.
