I have watched TV with subtitles almost my entire life. My family used to spend summers at my grandmas house. She had very bad hearing. Every thing she watched had to have subtitles or CC on. I ended up getting used to it and just liked having them on. Now I can’t watch TV shows or movies without subtitles even if it’s something I’ve watched 100 times before. Only exception is a theater where you can hear everything clearly. It’s literally just a preference… you either like it or you don’t.
I genuinely NEED a psychologist to explain why an entire generation can no longer watch TV without subtitles.
