I struggle with that same issue. I'll risk nine out of 10 people suffer from it. There are only twenty four hours in a day.
In my understanding, that is not a good way to make better use of your time. I'm glad it works for you but makes no sense whatsoever.
If you do that for, to my understanding, speeding through dialogue heavy content, you're essentially following podcasts. You can do many things while listening anything, at normal speeds.
When I am cooking, cleaning, etc, I listen to audiobooks. Not at those same speeds as YouTube videos. Between 1.25x and 1.8x, depends on a narrator again.
Not trying to pry into your intimacy but what is motivating such a concern for speeding up your media consumption rate?
I don't know what to tell you. It looks like to me that you seem to think that somehow I am wasting my enjoyment of the media. Or that my consumption of the media isn't the right one or fulfilling or something like that.
As I said before, I can understand everything. Why should I listen to or watch something in normal speed? It's just a waste of time in my case.
When somebody can hit a target that is 300 meters away, why would you tell them to shoot at the target that is only 100 meters away? What's the point in that for them?
I don't know if that is a good analogy, but I don't know how else to explain this.
imagine someone told you they ate bananas sideways because it's faster and cleaner. That's probably how they feel.
Genuine curiosity.
