@adam I think it is appropriate in a public lobby or restaurant setting. At home? I mean...I don't have a reason personally unless maybe it's a foreign film in english with thick accents.

@adam I put "Never", but it's really more like "Extremely rare".

@adam I hate having the volume jacked up. There are a ton of shows that have loud as hell background music so in order to catch what is being said, I have to dramatically raise the volume. My other gripe is dramatic volume shifts from one scene to another. I just opt to keep it low and read. This drives boomers nuts.

@adam normally I don't but due to lazy acting or directing, about once every TV show or movie I pause, rewind, and turn on captions just long enough to find out what was said that was impossible to hear.

@adam I use subtitles. Admittedly, I may have a hearing problem. But, I just got tired of listening to dialogue that sounds normal, then someone says something so softly that I can’t make it out, forcing me to rewind so I can catch what they said. I’m not a millennial— I’m 63.

@adam no choice for less than 50%? I do that quite often when watching TV and the baby is sleeping.

@adam One could enable CC and then listen to other content, for multitasking, but I don't do that. I set CC depending on the content. If the dialog warrants focus (it's witty, quick, accents, or poor sound mixing) then I'll have normal volume with CC. If the scenery is breathtaking, CC becomes distracting and I'll make the effort to turn it off.

@adam Toggling CC on/off can be as intuitive as CC on [replay] button press (some Roku) or obvious as a dedicated [CC] button, or annoyingly complicated (buried in your profile settings.)Roku CC options https://support.roku.com/article/208756848-how-do-i-enable-closed-captioning-This Hulu page is a worthy attempt to explain the complicated CC landscape https://help.hulu.com/s/article/captions?language=en_USObligatory amazon link https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201493150

@adamLess than 50%.... "Never" doesn't cover it! We turn it on when the volume variance is crazy high and we want to hear what's whispered and not be blown away by the effects volume

@adam I always use captions, and definitely not millennial. It's a mix between English not being my first language, slightly reduced hearing and really annoying changes in sound levels.The Guardian wrote about it too. Did you see this article? https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/jul/21/subtitles-tv-hearing-no-context-twitter-captions
