I'd love some stats on what proportion of people (who know you can change the speed) listed to audio books on 1x speed. It feels so incredibly slow to me, like they are intentionally holding back on telling me what happens!

I don't understand how people can watch certain things at 1x speed. I slowed down a video yesterday to 1x to rewatch something in real time and I had to triple check that I didn't accidentally hit .75x because it felt way too slow, but no, it was 1x.

I actually listen to podcasts and audiobooks at 90% speed a lot because I'm always doing something else while I'm listening. And some narrators on audiobooks are just really fast man
