Every single YouTube video does this right now. They are all incredibly slow and take forever to get to the point (if there even is one).

I have heard this is because there's a magic duration number for monetization.

So if I listen at 2x, how many minutes do they count for monetization purposes?

Watch hours are literally how long someone watches. So if you watch a 2 hour video at 2x, it counts as 1 hour.
