I just started making videos and I understand now why people talk so slowly. It's easy to understand people in person, but once you put a microphone and compression into the mix it's a lot harder to get things to sound correctly. It's easier to talk slowly, enunciate clearly, and then let the viewer decide how fast to play. Some people literally will still choose the 1X speed. I listen at 2x for 90% of content now, and on podcasts, 2.5x. Most videos sound better at 1.25x, but speaking that fast and getting content out on time isn't fun, and actually irritates the normal people who don't touch any settings and can't keep up.
In fact, I only review my own videos at 1x speed once to check for errors. I usually listen back at 2.5-3x the first few times. As long as you enunciate well, you can speed it up a lot. The 1x,I'm looking for visual errors.
