on the internet everything moves faster

You can just click ahead in the video. Swipe to the next person mid-sentence, already talking. Open it up and they're already talking. No greetings. They rarely even say their names anymore. You skip the intro, skip the ads, skip the silence. You can listen to WhatsApp messages, podcasts, and audiobooks at 2× speed. Scroll past the parts that drag. Fast-forward through the boring bits. Everything is designed to get you to the point as quickly as possible.
