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.
