I can barely follow and absorb anything at 1.5-2x.
Beyond that, more power to you.

For extremely slow speakers 3x is possible.

Yeah, 2x is normally my limit, sometimes 2.5x. Very occasionally there will be content that gets 3x or more, but it’s incredibly rare. It has to be something pretty slow.

Some lectures and instruction videos are only watchable at 4x or higher.
Luckily there’s extensions and alternative apps that provide a much better user experience than the default one, including being able to increase playback speed as much as you want.

Yeah, this change has no practical effect on me. But removing features is concerning nonetheless.

Speeds over 2x were never a free feature, they just used to not be an option at all.
