It depends on the kind of content and information density. My default playback speed is usually 2x, unless the content requires deep focus and thought. For basic fantasy novels I might go up to 3x or 3.5x, unless the author uses a lot of symbolic or complex language. For example: listening to a Gene Wolf audiobook, I don't think I'd be able to really appreciate the full breadth of his writing at anything over 1.5x.
Most modern media just isn't very deep nor trying to layer a lot of interesting symbolism; if it's fairly one-dimensional / one-layered then you can blast through anything at 2x or 3x.
In the modern social media era, it feels like sometimes video content is filled with as much stuff as possible, like with the average MrBeast video, but it's mostly sausage. None of it has any deep meaning nor does it build up to something greater than the sum of its parts.
