According to a study in China, 28.2% of users do not watch videos at the original speed, while nearly 40% of 00s choose to watch videos at double speed. Do you also watch videos at 1.5x or double speed?
Most video platforms now support the ability to multiply the speed of videos, and YouTube has been offering this feature for some time, supporting 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, normal, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75 and 2x.
Young people nowadays work and live at a faster pace, so using the double speed allows them to watch more videos in the same length of time. For example, if a 90-minute video is played at normal speed, it will take the viewer 90 minutes to watch the video, but if the video is watched at double speed, it will only take about 45 minutes to watch. This saves half the time needed to watch the rest of the video.
In general, people will choose the normal speed to watch a good video, and double speed to watch the video of average quality.
Some songs with slower rhythms can have a different listening experience when played at double speed. Do you also use double speed to play songs?
