I'm doing a certification right now and watching the videos at 1.2x. I flagged a little at 1.5x. I'm thinking I'll try 2.x0 again but in 20 minute stints and take more breaks, which could help my overall stamina given I still have hours of video to watch.
The videos themselves aren't really the problem, it's the constant repetition. "Here's what we're going to present, here were are presenting, here's a summary of what we just presented."
If we could convince curriculum developers to put out an express version of their material -- nixing the pleasantries, intros, summaries, and outros -- we'd have plenty of time to consume the entirety of it in a casual 1.0-1.2x speed-up.
