1.5x is my normal YT watching speed. This has sometimes had unexpected consequences, e.g. when I finish watching something technical and it cues up some music videos afterwards.

Still, this is how I found out that at 1.25x, "Don't Look Back In Anger" by Oasis is infinitely better than at the soi-disant "correct" speed.

Argh slow speech. My mind wanders between each word.

In discussion with friend who prefers instructional videos: yes sometimes you need to watch what to do, but most of the time gimme the text. It should be an alternative for many (most?) things.

Me: needs a solution to something in whatever game I'm currently playing

Searches internet for solution

Ten minute video for something that will take seconds, riddled with ads and the most annoying voiceover ever

Also screams in ADHD

you have managed to perfectly convey this feeling in this post. kudos.

If it helps: If the video has a transcript (next to the description) you can search that with ctrl f. But it is still a video, the least dense form of this kind of information.

i hate that....

People talking slow, and taking 5 minutes to get to the advice and then the advice is shit
