A long time ago I found most YouTube videos were still completely comprehensible in 1.5x to 2x speed, depending on the exact speaker, and have been watching them at that speed ever since. Not just education but entertainment.

On the other hand, the downside is that you get used to that speed, and listening to people talk in realtime feels abysmally slow. Others may also ask you to slow down more frequently.

I do that with audiobooks as well, and when I set it to 1x speed it feels like the person is speaking intentionally super slow to make fun of the listener, it's odd.

2x is a much better speed, but still, it's annoying to have to watch 6 minutes of video to get the single sentence you want.
