Netflix secretly tested the double-speed playback technology, which was strongly opposed by many supervisory directors

Netflix is ​​secretly testing speed playback technology, allowing subscribers to watch videos at 1.25 or 1.5 times the speed, while keeping the matching audio, rather than the usual silent fast forward. This move can help Netflix subscribers digest the massive amount of program content that is flooding in at a faster speed. However, program creators, directors, and actors are very uneasy about this feature, worrying that Netflix will instigate viewers to swallow it whole and erase their hard work.

Aaron Paul, who played Pinkman in the Breaking Bad series and Netflix spin-offs, was the first to speak out: "Stop it... This is unacceptable. Not only is it interfering, it's also destroying artistic creation. You can't be that bad, am I right, Netflix?"

Ant-Man director Peyton Reed, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse director Peter Ramsey, and Mission: Impossible 4 director Brad Bird all called on Netflix to change its ways and turn back:

"Dear Netflix, this is a terrible idea and I think every director I know would be against it."

"The customer is always right? Eating 1.5 times faster, having sex 1.5 times faster, that's OK? Are you going to give in to laziness and boredom in everything?"

According to the information currently gathered from social networking sites, although the director, producer, and actors all expressed loud opposition and disbelief, Netflix will probably not give up the idea given that many viewers are happy to accept it - after all, the pace of the information age is getting faster and faster. In fact, on many domestic video websites, double-speed playback is already a very common function. What do you think?
