    watching this at 2x speed feels like a test i’m definitely passing

      Watching shorts at double speed? How? I’m on my phone and usually watch at 1.5x, but shorts don’t have the option for me

      ​@chrisr3570 keep the screen pressed continously while watching a short on the left or right edge, it’ll play at 2x

    I really enjoy this, feels natural

    How ironic to put this in a short. And btw there is evidence that, generally, human attention spans are getting shorter.

    It’s very bad. I just watched the movie Giant, it is three hours and twenty minutes long and it is worth a watch. But you can’t appreciate a movie like that at twice or three times the speed. Part of the point is that it *is* long, that you experience it at the intended pace.

      I agree but we’re dinosaurs. I do love his optimism though. I think it’s going to take a lot less than 100 years to find out.

    Too long. Didn’t watch.

    Yes watching, not reading! That is why. Writing takes longer but can be read faster. Everything is video and pods now and video and talking is a slower medium for slower people.
    It is not more data but it is slower transfer medium

    At this point I have to assume that the typos ARE intentional.

    If I have to listen at 2x speed it’s not worth listening to.
