    I can’t not read them. My eyes read the subtitles against my will, and I miss whatever else is going on on the screen. Sometimes I spoil emotional moments because I read them first and miss the actor’s delivery.

    Other times subtitles are necessary, like if we’re watching while the kids are asleep, and we need to keep the volume lower in case there’s an action scene. Plus how else would I know if the music is “upbeat” or “somber” or whatever?

      There seems to be a trend on YouTube where people hardcore hardcoded subtitles for the whole video

      It’s fucking infuriating
