Why are all the video players on the web limited to 2x speed?

My first guess would be a combination of insufficient demand for faster playback than that coupled with UI concerns (limited set of options provides more ways to display them) and perhaps processing concerns. (however probably not the last one)

why watch faster?

Why not?

If you merely want to refresh your memory on some video you have seen before, you might want to go x10. Not understanding most of the words would still recall all of the ideas in sequence.

Also there is speakers that are still very understandable *and* slow at x2.

i dont find that

interesting tho you replied to me as i was just looking at https://github.com/Giszmo/NostrPostr/tree/master/nostrpostrlib

i have thought nostr needs more libraries, why have you stopped dev?

It started to get complicated I guess. The relay in that repo didn't work well and I did not primarily want to build a relay at the time. I then switched to doing a PWA which I later also gave up, too.

It's all open source, so if you want to pick up the slack ... I'm here if you have questions.

i think libraries would be good because a lot of devs will waste time rebuilding core functions

Median fast speed that human mind can comprehend 🐢🐾🫑

That would suggest that half of humanity can do faster. If it were 95th percentile ...

web-video constant probably

They should at least match Spotify at 3.5x

Consumption rate is capped~ otherwise web2 cdns would burn up.

When do you need anything over 2x speedup?

Newpipe used to allow 3x
