I grew up reading alot because we didn't have internet in the house. My parents STILL dont have internet. To each their own I guess.

Subtitles are amazing. Many potential or inherent benefits to having them on, few even potential downsides.

I like subtitles for everything except comedies because they ruin the delivery and cadence of the joke. I wouldn’t mind dynamic subtitles though, where script is only on screen as it’s delivered

My wife teases me because I watch everything with subtitles on (where possible - boy is YouTube inconsistent) and she says I always laugh before the funny part as a result.
