My "solution": ragequit when an interesting looking link ends up being a video. Rationalization: if nobody bothered to write a transcript, it cannot be that interesting.
Yes. Or rather, a yet-unknown mixture of a weak-to-mid-strong evidence and posterior rationalization.
Not sure how you do your sampling, but most videos I watch end up pretty high-value and luck subtitles in most cases.
How do you go about this? On Youtube I signed up for the htlm5 trial and that allows only some videos to be played back at different speeds, and I have no idea how they decide which videos.
Coursera is excellent for it - any Coursera courses have playback speed options. I usually go x1.5 for sciences and x2 for humanities(since humanities tend to have lower information density), but you can vary that a little depending on the prof's talking speed and the content of the lecture you're watching.
I know Coursera isn't the only source of informational video, but it's a good starting point.
There is a plugin, at least for mac to speed up all of them. You can also download the vids and use vlc or something locally.
Update: I learned that if you want to watch youtube videos sped up and don't want to download it and play it back, Vlan supports copying the url and ctrl v on to the main screen.
