Didn't really hurt but more like sting. I published a popular video and someone wrote they needed to switch from their usual 2x speed watching videos to 1x because of my accent.
I get it, English is my 4th language so it won't be very smooth. But I've been using it for 99โ of my conversations since I moved to Korea 3 years ago and I feel I'm better in it than almost everyone I interact with here.
Don't worry. People that watch videos at 2x can be considered to be insane.
Thank god, I was afraid to be judged insane.
But I'm good since I watch my videos at 2.5-3.0 times speed!
Fucking hell.
Anything above 1,5 is fast as fuck for me.
It's weird, in my native language I tend to turn the speed down much more often than in English.
Ah yes, I forgot folks with ADHD are also insane. /s
Who the hell watches videos at 2x speed anyway?
For folks with ADHD, like myself, slow talking video essays are a special kind of hell.
Agreed. I'm convinced that most YouTube videos are slowed by 25%. The ones I watch are barely tolerable at 125% speed. I usually run them at 150%.
goign from 2x to 1x is not really that bad of a thing. Hes saying he can understand you but not at an artificially high rate of speed. I personally don't get watching things at multiple speeds but im someone who would rather read a doc overall.
4th? Man that commenter owes you nothing, nada. You did your best and the rest is their problem.
Some people are very insensitive to other people's hard work.
It's because you talk fast and efficient.
Btw english is my 2nd, may I ask what are your other three? My first is Hungarian
Polish, German and Swedish. Now I'm learning Korean, not because I want to but because I moved to Korea and without it it's difficult to do anything.
That's also why I had to learn the other languages other than English, because I moved to those countries.
Wow, you almost went around the globe
EU freedom of movement really is something else, lol
You know 4 languages!?!?! That's amazing. Don't let anyone judge you because you're not 100% in 4 friken languages.
I'm usually watching at 2.5-3.0 times speed. I turn down the speed either for A: entertainment (movies simply have a sort of pacing that is not so nice to interrupt (compared to any random YouTube video)), or B: because the content is sooo good and information dense that the limiting factor is no longer audio processing, but following the reasoning of the content. Those are the videos I love most.
