Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai has revealed that he usually speeds up videos on YouTube unless he's watching something that he really enjoys or needs to "process deeply".
Pichai was responding to a post on X by popular American YouTuber Marques Brownlee. "Very curious to see, I normally do 1x for things I enjoy and/or need to process deeply but otherwise do go faster," he wrote.
Last July, Alphabet-owned YouTube began testing its 2x playback speed feature which was accessible to its Premium subscribers. Currently, it is available to all users.
