My wife does it and it drives me nuts. She's one that cannot miss a single fricking word of the dialog or we have to rewind....
It drives my brain crazy.... I don't want to read the show but my eyes won't unfocus on the captions

Hell my wife does it
Same. Wife is 37 and it's on every TV in the house. If I turn it off, it'll be on as soon as she gets ahold of the remote. Annoys me sometimes because I catch myself just reading instead of fully enjoying the show. But other times when dialogue is hard to understand, it's great.

We’re 73 and 71 and struggle with background effects and most British accents, of which there are many in both TV and movies. And, of course, there are those great but pesky Christopher Nolan movies.
We turn off CC for most things “live” because interpretation is slow and shitty.
Love CC for movies.

None of those kids are millennials unless it's a 10 year old pic.

Its a Gen Z thing, not a Millennial thing-- and its one of the few things they do that makes a lot of sense.
Since the advent of modern at home surround sound, the 'soundscaping' of movies and television has become its own thing to a degree unprecedented-- the amount of time that people spend flexing the range of audio from whispered words on skin to the explosion of a city, has completely wrecked the ability of lots of folks to enjoy all of a movie equally, at a single volume.
Subtitles help offset that. If you like it quiet, you can read it when they try to go subtle. If you like it loud, you can get the content when your ears are ringing too hard to actually hear the constiutent parts of the noise for what they are.

Didn't realize there was so many people that can't read the dialogue and watch the show at the same time.
Posted on 10/2/23 at 7:55 pm to greygoose
Because voice audio is preset at about a 3 and sound effect are at a 99

My wife has a pretty profound hearing loss, and has had hearing aids since she was 30. After living together for 25+ years and having captions on everything, now I find I can’t watch myself without them on, ive been trained I guess

The old bastards at the golf club put on CC in the mornings for the news. By evenings we are trying to get the CC turned off so we can watch a game.

Dialogue is too quiet, then all of a sudden there’s an action scene that’s way the hell too loud.
Posted on 10/2/23 at 8:10 pm to upgrade
The companies that produce sound bars (Roku, etc.) tout the dialogue volume features pretty extensively. There is clearly a market.

The kids in that picture are too young to be Millennials.

Get a universal remote and set it up for the TV and never have to ask anyone for shite.
Posted on 10/2/23 at 8:12 pm to greygoose
I only do it if it’s a heavy British accent show or my kid is in the room making a ton of noise
Posted on 10/2/23 at 8:12 pm to greygoose
Gen X and I do it whenever there are accents.
Posted on 10/2/23 at 8:14 pm to greygoose
GX here. I watch with closed captioning. Sometimes I miss shite that is said, its not much of a problem with CC.
