I use it to help me pick from my 2500 steam games and growing. I play all my first time playthrough blind except the intro summary paragraph. The Time I use to help me complete my goal for the month. so currently I am doing 20 games a month and then my main game 3 days a week. So The beginning of the month I do the 6 to 20 hour games and at the end of the month I pick the quick games like 30 min to 3 hours. So For that aspect of it I use it often and like it for that. some games I beat much faster than the listed time or a little longer so it is really as a quick reference to help plan the broadcast schedules. So if it is a 72 hour game I play it normally the beginning of the month and I also split those up with my main game stream days fitting that time frame in half to keep working on that game but without getting drained from it.

I only glance at HowLongToBeat for a vague idea for how long the game is, I don’t register the time in my mind, so I don’t have this problem (I usually don’t check it either.)
