I just try to be efficient with my time. Skipping the intro (we know who most of these people are already), switching to 1.75x or 2.0x speed, I can watch a 17 minute vid in about 8 minutes. Productivity.

On YouTube itself, if you hold down the left mouse button it will do 2x on the fly. Then just slow down for an important point.
