Do you like using subtitles?

[Heatman]

How do you feel about making of subtitles whenever you're watching movies and TV shows? Do you find them very helpful or a kind of distraction?

Personally, I can't watch any movie without the subtitle because it helps me to focus well in the movie's discussion and not miss anything.

I hate watching shows with subtitles, it distracts me from watching the actual visual aspect of the show.

Subtitles are a must for me. I am hard of hearing and the subtitles allow me to understand enjoy the movie or tv shows that I watch.

I agree with Cory 100%.

My spouse has issues processing audio, so they often have to have captions on when we're watching shows and movies together. It doesn't bother me at all, though I don't like it when the captions don't match with what the characters are saying or if they get out of sync lol.

Some time I do use subtitles for movies.

Same. I've missed out on watching some show like Squid Game because of subtitles and if I watch the English dub the mouth movements don't match the words.

I only use subtitles if I can't understand the language of what I'm watching.

I hate watching series’ or movies without subtitles. I can still understand what is being said without them, like at the cinema, where I don’t exactly get a choice, but I hate it.

I don't like them. If the movie / show is in another language, I'd rater watch it dubbed. When you're reading sentences at the bottom of the screen you miss whats going on sometimes.

With or without subtitles, I don't mind. If it's on in a movie or TV show, I'm okay with it but if it's not, I will not bother. I can enjoy the movie without it very well.
