  @matt @tvaziri Vox has a good video as well: https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=VYJtb2YXae8
  It's also probably muffed audio and botched remixes which has been happening since the DVD days. There's a reason why old LaserDisc releases for example have better audio. https://blah-ray.blogspot.com/?m=1

    Why we all need subtitles now
    
    It's not you — the dialogue in TV and movies has gotten harder to hear. Subscribe and turn on notifications 🔔 so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bsAjO Have you ever been watching a show or movie, and then a character delivers a line so unintelligible you have to scramble to find the remote and rewind? For me, this moment came during the climax of the Pete Davidson film “The King of Staten Island,” where his most important line was impossible to understand. I had to rewind three times — and eventually put subtitles on — to finally pick up what he was saying. This experience isn’t unique — gather enough people together and you can generally separate them into two categories: People who use subtitles, and people who don’t. And according to a not-so-scientific YouTube poll we ran on our Community tab, the latter category is an endangered species — 57% of you said you always use subtitles, while just 12% of you said you generally don’t. But why do so many of us feel that we need subtitles to understand the dialogue in the things we watch? The answer to that question is complex – and we get straight to the bottom of it in this explainer, with the help of dialogue editor Austin Olivia Kendrick.

  @tvaziri My wife and I just restarted Downton Abbey with my 13-year-old twins, and after about 15 seconds of speaking we turned on the subtitles because they couldn’t understand the accents.
