You say that, but I have no problem at all with subtitles if I need them for another language. I’ve been watching Das Boot with my newborn by my side and it’s a great experience.
I think the issue I’m trying to complain about is having two options (e.g. if I’m watching with someone that insists on subtitles) where I could have the better experience without them. My brain can’t opt out of reading them.
When I need subtitles due to language then there is no other option so the one way to watch is with them. Dubbed versions of some stuff exists, of course, but it’s extra effort to track them down.
How bizarre. I detest subtitles for myself as I end up reading rather than watching the content - compulsively.
I’ve never had an issue hearing dialogue so I’m perplexed as to what audio setups are being used to make things so lousy for so many people.
The problem with my audio setup is in my temporal lobe. I have autism.

You’re lucky you’re (presumably) a native English speaker then, lol
