How often do you watch YouTube videos sped up?

Recently, I've started watching a lot of tutorial videos at 1.5x to 2x the speed. I can still understand what's being said and it saves a lot of time. Have you done this before?
Yeah it’s a great feature some YouTubers stretch videos out to long for more ad plays
Always. I get frustrated if people talk or explain too slow
I always use the right arrow on the keyboard for a majority of videos. It feels like a lot of videos worry about runtime over content so I feel like for a 30 second solution you have to sit through a lot of garbage.
Nice to meet ya.
Haha all the time. I listen at x2 speed and it holds my attention better cos I have to listen closely and make sure I don’t miss anything out. Saves me half the time too lol

Yes depends on video, I speed it up when I want to get to the point

I've never done this but I see the appeal of it for instructional videos. I could't do it for content I actually want to watch though, the pitch change in the voices drives me crazy. I know some people do it for audio books but it totally ruins the experience for me.

On YouTube, it doesn't change the pitch, just the speed.

I too often venture to watch certain videos with the x2. First of all because they save me a lot of time and allow me to be able to listen to it several times without taking too long and yes I can understand them too, I do this especially with tutorials instead for entertainment videos I always watch them at normal speed but I only do it when I'm bored or have nothing to do.
I actually never use the feature since I always grind on a game and watch it at the same time so I don't miss anything.

Always. I'm not sitting through 20 mins of a youtuber talking for 2 mins of info.

Almost never, It makes me cranky.
yeah I love to do that, feel extra productive at wasting time lol
Never on videos, but when someone sends me a voice message of some sort, that shit is getting 2x'd.
