aren't just for those who are hearing impaired anymore. A surprising trend has emerged. The majority of young people, even those without hearing issues, are using subtitles while watching TV. Why? They help decipher murmured dialogues, thick accents, and even allow viewers to multitask on their phones. Platforms like Netflix are enhancing the subtitle experience, making them more immersive. For instance, the viral squelch moment from Stranger Things wasn't meant to be meme-worthy, but to engage viewers. Moreover, the global appeal of shows like the immensely popular Squid Game has further normalized subtitle usage. And it's not just on TV. Platforms like TikTok are also promoting subtitle inclusivity thanks to their auto-captioning tool and the influence of deaf creators. So, oh, next time you watch a show, maybe give subtitles a try. Stay sharp with TILL.
