I have ADHD. I always struggled to watch stuff. I started watching them at 1.1-1.25 (sometimes even greater for very slow talkers) speed and it feels so right. I forget it's even sped up, because it's on my speed. Very cozy. I highly recommend.

Do that watching youtubes sometimes. 30 min? Bet I can cut that to 15. Especially if it's dry stuff. I'll also fast forward past musical interludes or b-roll blah blah.
Most youtubers I can't watch slower than 2x speed.

I do the same with podcast especially ones that are more informational. I watch a few gameplay highlight channels on YouTube and I almost strictly watch them at 2x.

Watching movies on 1.1-1.25 speed feels so right.

Late to the party, but there is a Firefox addon that allows going higher than 2x speed. For me the sweetspot is 2.5x
