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.

[-] Turun@feddit.de 5 points 7 months ago

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!

[-] lud@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Fucking hell.

Anything above 1,5 is fast as fuck for me.

[-] Turun@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago

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

[-] CommissarVulpin@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Who the hell watches videos at 2x speed anyway?

[-] Glitchington@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

For folks with ADHD, like myself, slow talking video essays are a special kind of hell.

[-] sudo42@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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%.

4th? Man that commenter owes you nothing, nada. You did your best and the rest is their problem.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 9 points 7 months ago

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.

Some people are very insensitive to other people's hard work.

[-] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

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

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 8 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

Wow, you almost went around the globe

[-] Turun@feddit.de 4 points 7 months ago

EU freedom of movement really is something else, lol

[-] sudo42@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You know 4 languages!?!?! That's amazing. Don't let anyone judge you because you're not 100% in 4 friken languages.

[-] Turun@feddit.de 4 points 7 months ago

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.
