As someone with a hearing disability, it really irks me every time I see this comment. This style of captioning helps me understand the pacing of the dialog, something that normal subtitles cannot do, forcing me to attempt to read lips and the captions at the same time. I much prefer to just have my subtitles pop up one word at a time like this.
I’m afraid that if people keep complaining about them, they will eventually go away. Please stop with your crusade against something that legitimately helps people with disabilities. It’s incredibly selfish.
I’m not going to argue with you. If this genuinely helps you, cool. I will say I’m not on a “crusade”. I initially watched the clip without audio and simply couldn’t keep up, where I would have easily done so with more traditional subtitles.
Out of curiosity, would you want to watch a longer form video like this? It doesn’t really seem to leave much opportunity to look at anything other than the flashing words.
I don’t mean you specifically, just people like you in general. Every single time I see a post with these kind of captions in them, someone always has to show up and make a comment just like yours. It’s frustrating.
And to answer your question: yes I would. I wish all subtitles were like this.
It’s a built in CapCut captioning effect widely used by video editors on TikTok.
Speed reader applications have demonstrably proven that people can process word sequences MUCH quicker when you show sentences to them this way.
You can be annoyed by the style and how obtuse it looks in scale relation to the actual video content, but utility-wise, it’s objectively the “easiest to digest” way to display subtitles / captions.
This is the better way to caption things, actually. It improves both your reading speed and comprehension, especially when it’s something like this where the person is talking quickly. Something about how your brain recognizes words.
Stop
captioning
every
word
individually.
It
is
absolutely
useless
and
distracting.
Especially with this bounce effect.
Seriously. By the time I could actually focus on the word, it was on the screen for 2 more frames before disappearing.

I get it.
