It's not that much effort - I don't even have to lift a finger for it. In my FC, the moment someone says they are looking to start a CM speed run party, it fills up within 2 minutes, off to the queue right after. There are more speed runners than new players who want to watch cutscenes in the game.

If all speedrunners ceased using the duty finder, new players would constantly find a group in DF too, but in general they are expected to use the DF compared to speed runners - the quest description even says Use the Duty Finder to enter Castrum Meridianum.

Stop throwing new players under the bus - people like you will have a much easier time finding a speed running party, than them finding a cutscene watching party.
