You could skip filler in Naruto and so does One Piece, you can skip the random dressrosaian running, close up shot of someone face and what not and enjoy the canon content with proper pacing. The only reason OP is still bearable is because ToeI didn't had the guts yet to even lay a hand on the canon content save for a certain moment(Usopp-Sugar long range fight) and always deliver especially if it's an important scene e.g G4, Sabo Fire fist, Kaido intro, Hakuba and a lot more.
You clearly didn't watch OP if you seriously think people actually watch it in 1.2x speed.
The trend in OP is mostly 'nothing happened in the first half, and canon content start in the second half' and again save for a certain episode with decent canon content the whole episode.
The snail pace ruin the canon content rarely apply to OP because OP snail pace isn't about extending a scene but more about random padding, awkward pause and close up shot, they still left the canon untouched and adapt it the way it is.
Man both of your paragraphs make little to no sense.
1. How is skipping filler the same as skipping scenes IN a canon episodes? the former is about not watching a whole episode period, the latter is you skipping some dragged out scenes, recaps, etc.This comparison would make more sense if it was Naruto's flashbacks vs the stalling of one piece since both of these are padding.
Also you already contradicted your whole point since you admitted one piece has stalling in it.
One Piece pace is slower than Naruto, One Piece has less chapter average adaptation than Naruto. That's a simple fact, don't try to twist it with things that don't even make sense on their own.
2. Lol why would someone even need to watch one piece to know that OTHER PEOPLE watch it with increase speed? I just read comments of people who did that.

How does that matter? snail pacing is snail pacing and it ruins the enjoyment of watching it. If anything extending a scene is better than pausing and close ups it actually implies progress instead of a static quo
