That is done for timing, doesn’t do a couple words at a time and doesn’t flash on and then off of the screen immediately in most cases. What am I going to talk in time with whatever content creator? It’s purely done so people can see as much of what’s being said as possible in brief moments they scroll past/hover over the video while it autoplays without audio and to drive engagement. Not for accessibility or readability.
Whatever this image is meant to be aside. As someone who relies heavily on captions, anyone who uses this shitty, engagement baiting form of “captioning” can go step on an entire bucket of legos.


Did I suggest that was an issue, that I couldn’t? Yes, I could have nearly 50% of the screen taken up by two sets of captions, one functional and one annoyingly used to try grabbing attention. That certainly is an option. Better than the EA tier “what, you guys don’t have karaoke?” though I guess.
