Laughs in forks that include sponsorblock

PipePipe

Laughs in Firefox, which allows plug-ins in mobile. I can have all my ad blockers and video speed controllers, and anything else.

100% agree. The problem is that there are more and more features that get tugged behind the subscription paywall

Same here. I’m sick of seeing people say stuff like “just pay for Premium bro”. Stfu. That’s like paying the mafia for “protection” from them. YouTube created these problems and now I have to pay them to fix it? Fuck no.

Yeah, this change has no practical effect on me. But removing and paywalling features is concerning nonetheless.

also its fork Tubular if you enjoy SponsorBlock

or PipePipe

Idk what to tell you, a lot of youtubers talk pretty fuckin slow

I watch basically everything that isn't music or advanced mathematics at 2x speed. YouTubers talk so slowly.

That's what I wanted to know. Until I realised I don't care how people watch YouTube and that it's more annoying to me that Google is paywalling something that costs them nothing to implement.

I watch most IT/Technical videos at 1.5-2x speed. Especially tutorial style videos. Most creators use a very long and drawn out way of speaking in order to keep the viewer on the same page, but most of the time I know the core concepts already, so I don't need the super detailed parts only the barebones.

This was a video of a machine treating pomegranate seeds 🤷 don't ask

But it was filmed in a lot of detail and there was no need to watch the whole thing. The creators should probably have made a highlights video instead.

Not OP but informational podcast/interview type videos that are heavy on talking and long I watch at 2.25x with subtitles on.

For me personally, until a month ago I had no idea why people would prefer to watch at faster speed.

Then I was assigned 10 hours of training at work, and it was all the worst fucking videos you've ever seen, no editing for clarity or brevity, points being repeated ad nausea. Repeating footage. And it's not like I could skip vast portions of it, I never knew when a little piece of key information would be snuck in which was in the knowledge test.

Finally said to myself fuck this and I put it on 2x. I found it kind of life-changing in that moment and I'm going to consider using faster watch speeds from now on.

In this case, it was this video

I don't usually speed it up that much bun in this case, I wanted a 'time lapse' stile skim of the video

I don't care when my only way to watch YouTube it's either:

• on Firefox with uBlock Origin
• on ReVanced
• on SmartTube (for Android TV)
• by downloading the video through yt-dlp
