After surveying 1,200 people, it was found that 50% of Americans use subtitles most of the time. The figure increases when the age of the population decreases, 70% of generation Z reported using them most of the time.
The survey seeks to investigate the reasons for this new trend. Most people who use subtitles mentioned practical concerns related to listening to the audio and understanding the shows they watch.
72% of people cited confusing audio as a top concern, with 61% citing difficulty understanding actors' accents. Other reasons were trying to watch programs at low volume, using subtitles to concentrate on the screen, and in some cases, using subtitles to learn a new language.
