It's interesting - if I'm watching something that's slower paced than I'd like, or has a slow talker, I'll either fast forward or use the play-at-1.5x-speed option.
If a video is aimed at a different skill level, I'll either fast forward through to see if the content improves later, or have a look at the finished product to see if it's worth looking at anyway.
If a video is just not for me or not to my taste, I will just move on and think nothing more of it.
There is a sea of videos within YouTube with many hours of footage being uploaded every minute, and no-one has to watch any of it. By getting upset at the videos that don't work for me, the only person's time I'm wasting is my own. It wouldn't cross my mind to think that the video maker is "pissing away my time" - if anything I'm responsible for that with my choice of video initially, and my choice to continue watching after it starts. After all I'm the one with the play controls. It's not TV - it's more like self-directed TV where have the power (and responsibility) of creating the programming schedule.
That's just my 2c.
Cheers,
Craig
