I was relieved when I read that original article because I really did think it was just me. It really annoys me because when CC is on, my eyes tend to focus on them even if I don't need it for a particular sentence or scene. I feel that takes away from enjoying the film since I'm so laser focused on the CC. I've tried to ease my focus up a bit, but I just can't seem to do it; if CC is on, that's where my eyes go.
I do wonder if a new UI/UX for CC could resolve some of that issue. Maybe something like using AI/ML to dynamically place the CC closest to the person speaking so I don't need to direct my eyes at the bottom of the screen and can have both the text and the actor's face in my field of vision?
Anyways, just some random thoughts from someone who is increasingly annoyed by not being able to make out what the hell people are saying on screen anymore!
