Factually incorrect. 26 episodes of 40 minutes each gives a total runtime of 17 hours and 20 minutes. Perfectly doable, you even have time for a quick nap and then hammer out some beers with the homies.

Depends on the series. Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds only have like 10 each. Lower Decks is only 26 minute episodes too.

i was going to say something to this effect.
nowadays, i just put it on as background noise when is start working and lip sync to the dialogue and imagine the scenes in my head when i'm not directly looking at the screen.

We just gonna forget about TAS? Season 1 is 16 episodes at 384 minutes. Season 2 is even less with 6 episodes at 144 minutes. That’s just 8 hours, 48 minutes.

I watch 2x speed so I finish twice as fast

I feel like a terminally online goon for it, but I generally watch shows on 1.5~2x speed. Random youtube crap is even worse at 2.5 or 3x. If I really, really like a show I'll watch at 1.2 or 1.3x.
There's just so much content out there and I want to see so much stuff

I find that approach really diminishes some of the great scenes that rely on pauses and pace for dramatic effect. I agree that some Star Trek stuff is rather slow (and it feels even slower when you hit one of the worse episodes) but defaulting to accelerating content just doesn't feel right.
Lots of YouTube is intentionally lengthened for view time/metrics balance to entice the algorithm. Spiffing Brit does this very well by padding his videos with nonsense for the first five or ten minutes, however much time he needs to pad the meat and potatoes, and his viewership metrics show it works. For that reason I do find myself speeding up YouTube, though having SponsorBlock on also helps a lot.

i used to do this with youtube and i switched to using ai browser plugins to summarize youtube content for me.
