Then why is there such a trend going, with people trying to speak so fracking fast? If they go any faster, some reviewers/tutorial creators can rival a **** auctioneer. I actually think some are speeding up their video's and keeping the audio at the same pitch, or something.
I've heard that there was some sort of 'idea' in the USA, some time ago, to speed up all TV programs by 10 percent (thus cutting a 42 minute show down to around 38) to be able to fit more commercials in there without exceeding one hour. Has that ever taken off?

Yes, it most certainly did. I believe it was Friends, wasn't it?--that had this. They literally sped it up, to get in the same amount of content, with more commercials. We're not watchers of comedies, so I don't know how it affected the watchers, but I think it was either Friends or one of those other trendy zeitgeist comedies. (Seinfeld?) And afaik, it hasn't stopped, either. In fact, I think it's routinely done in shows that have reached the point of syndication--the magic, 100th episode mark.
I read something about...8%? They gain a few minutes of advert time, for each show?
I
think that's right. Not certain, but...
