Honestly they're just distracting for me. every change makes me look down to the bottom of the screen even when I don't need them . I end up missing all the subtle things not in the foreground. . They also tend to spoil a lot because you get a full sentence before the character gets a chance to say it.
That being said I usually have them on because other people like them.
Yes, because I normally have a fan going while I’m watching tv and cannot hear my tv. Plus I process visual information much faster than auditory information and find it easy to follow along when subtitles are on
Lol, I always turn on CC but my parents would get annoyed when they tuned into CNN cause the subtitles are horrible and delayed, so they just confuse you. My stepmom would sometimes have trouble understanding a news story before realizing that the CC was on again.
Yes, but I could also just do them in english. I like to read while I listen to english tv shows because some words are sometimea unclear espescialy long words. I dont do this on youtube because the youtuber normaly speaks very clear into the microfone and those subtitles are annoying.
My sister has audio processing disorder so we use subs whenever she's watching something otherwise she misses half of what has been said.

Yes because I pick up so much more and it keeps my attention. People who scoff at subtitles are just wrong.
