I refuse to use them for movies and TV shows. I guess that’s stubborn? But if I wanted to read, I would have picked up a book, not started watching a movie/show. Obviously thought, I will use them for foreign films, or any multilingual films.
Idk if it’s stubbornness as much as just your preference, and that’s super fine!
I’ve always focused a lot on sets and stuff more than the dialog in movies and shows, so with subtitles I feel like I’m missing a significant portion of the experience that I like most. When subtitles are on, I can’t make myself not read them, so I get less time to take everything else in.
Kinda funny, too, since I have significant hearing loss. I’m who captions are meant for lol
Yeah. I understand the trend. It makes sense. It’s not unreasonable.
I still hate it. I have a nice home theater and my wife STILL trys to turn on subtitles. For me, I can’t not read them. Even in English with a good sound system. My brain just focuses on subtitles anyway. Movies and TV are a visual medium. I want to watch the movie. I want to see the color choices, the framing of the characters, the cool CGI. With subtitles, I only SEE half the movie. I have less time to process each seen.
So yeah, same. If I wanted to read, I’d read a book.

Fucking nailed my issue with them. I obsess over reading, I read faster than the character says them etc. I just find them very distracting.
