Also, as you probably know, I would add to read faster to STOP actually internally "verbalizing" words, as in "sounding them out in your head".
When you realize that this is possible, then you can read much faster.

I thought about including that, but it's super difficult and can turn people off to the idea if they can't figure it out. I know I still subvocalize most of the time. But when I am able to stop, I read so much faster. Even if you can't stop though, you can still increase your reading speed with Tim Ferriss's techniques.
Can you please do a second post about how to do this? Techniques or how to even begin separating the two?
I could try but im honestly not very good at it. The scientific speed reading method that I linked to was what helped me the most.
Yes, it is difficult to stop "sub-vocalization" and I want to be clear that I am not good at that, but when I am able to do it occasionally, I am pleased.
Usually, like other speed reading techniques, it takes intention and concentration.
Mostly, especially online, when trying to read fast, I resort to "skimming" as @mindover mentions above.
