There is literally nothing wrong with watching anime at a higher speed like 2x or even 3x. Anime is the slowest medium on the planet, with glacial pacing and padding out the ass. Not to mention it's assumed that anyone binging a season will skip 3-4 minutes of each episode since it's the same exact thing every time. Recaps and previews are meaningless and so already like 20% of the episode is completely useless.
Studios need to realize that sticking to the TV framework instead of just allowing variable episode lengths is killing anime. Even original series are bad at this and have moments where you can tell the writers were employing calculus to determine how to stretch a one-minute sequence out into three minutes or longer. Did OVAs stick to a consistent runtime? No. Do movies? Not really. Do net series? Maybe in China, but part of the reason we even have short-form anime at all is thanks to the Internet.
But because Japan is autistic and is still convinced a season should be 4 hours, of which only 1 hour is dedicated to moving the plot forward, it's in your best interest to speed up the playback. It's not about being an "ADHD zoomer" when I can see the exact moment the episode starts wasting my time on purpose. And no, comprehension doesn't magically go away when you bump up 1x to 1.5x or more. You're still ultimately just reading subtitles and watching pretty pictures flash by.

Not reading allat but yeah you're right obviously. Some directors just suck. Watching faster at times is just obvious.

It's the video version of being a speedreader. You're not actually watching anything, you're just rushing through shows to say you watched them. You miss context and small details then frequently get character plots wrong because you missed the context and small details.

This is like the inverse of the old joke "the food was so bad... and such small portions!"

I don't think many studios and director's intentions are for viewers to speed up their work.

I can understand skipping the OP and ED if they are not particularly good (provided you listen to them at least once). But if you are absentmindedly skipping for no reason, then maybe you should watch a show you actually like instead. Have you ever rewatched a series you liked? Have you ever read the light novel that an anime was based on? A show doesn't need a plot twist every minute to be good. By skipping random parts, you distance yourself from the message and feeling that the author was trying to convey. To fail to understand that is to fail to appreciate art.
