A recent YouTube by the Google owned platform says that YouTube viewers are watching videos at faster playback speeds.
In the words of YouTube –
“YouTube currently supports watching at 0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x, Normal (the default), 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, and 2x. As you can imagine, most people watch on the default speed, but we found that when people use this feature, the vast majority of the time they choose to watch a little bit faster – in fact, this feature was used to speed up content more than 85% of the time.”
“And for the perfectionists who like custom speeds, 1.1x was the most used speed. Just a little faster, but not too much.”
YouTube also notes that playback speeds get faster, in general, throughout the day.
“In the morning, starting at 6am, playback speeds weren’t used as often, but users started to dabble with faster speeds as their day progressed. There was a slight dip in usage around dinnertime, between 7pm and 8pm, before picking up again later in the evening. Looking at usage of 1.5x speed, users watching videos on 1.5x started spiking between 9pm and 1am in their respective time zones.”
YouTube Viewers save an average of over 900 years of video time per day by watching videos faster.
