Seek (fast forward and rewind) in videos
I was told that it is intentional that you can't seek in a video. Brilliant. On the contrary, 99% of Internet videos you can seek inside, including all kinds of learning stuff.
Consider this:
- There are many here whose native tongue is not English
- Even if your native tongue is English, you may not be a computer/internet wizard, or simply you didn't hear or understand one part correctly, you get the idea.
Does that make sense?
I personally find not being able to seek inside the video a major annoyance. How do you feel about it?
I wonder why Simpleology.com's Alexa ranking shows a constant decreasing trend. (That might be OFF here, but do you know of relevant competition? I would be happy to compare.)

Quoting Ric Lobosco: Not only is watching the entire training again a poor use of time (& de-motivating), there's no guarantee that one is alert to the specific bit of information when it comes around again, meaning we still might not "get" what we need to most effectively learn the lesson & thus most effectively use your system.

Simpleology support response: "No, it is by design. If you wish to review the training video, you may always go through the day’s training from the start.
The first day's training takes about 30 minutes. SOME people are apt students, we LIKE to learn, & the inability to track back 10 or 30 seconds or more, to be sure we understand the information is a valuable learning tool.

I understand why you don't want people to skip forward, but not being able to rewind a video inhibits learning for those motivated to LEARN.
