Hacking videos to be more efficient is always a good idea. I hate when people take 5 minutes to explain something that could be said in 30 seconds with proper editing and planning. Go for it.

There was one by Peter Theil where the whole thing could have been summarized into "Make a monopoly that doesn't look like a monopoly. E.g. Google claims to be an advertising company."

It's not easy to summarize as a 5 min video as the entire video was an elaboration of this concept. But it's easy to summarize into a couple of sentences.

video speed controller chrome extensions has been a great addition. Shortens videos by speeding them up and skip freely.

I generally skim through first by jumping 20secs ea, then rewind if I find anything interesting. And if the pace is too slow I 5x.

I learned that if you access the html5 youtube player you can actually change the speeds.

The other hack I was thinking about playing around with is removing silences, or long pauses, ummms, etc.
