Dude, I’m a deaf woman, my family is hard of hearing. I grew up with those shitty captions. It was awful but you ever try lip reading the news? Nah you’ll take that delayed black box captioning with random typo correction and you’ll like it because grandma remembers when we didn’t even have that
Yeah, I always noticed it was way worse for unscripted live shows than it was for reruns. I feel like I remember the live corrections sometimes being followed by like 3 lines of text that disappeared in a quarter second as the typist caught back up.
Yesssssss! I remember that shit. My hearing was ok as a kid (degenerative loss) so I have vague flashes of stuff like that with my mom on adult tv in the late 90s. I still remember our first dvd player and how the captions didn’t look like ass on it lol. It was amazing. But they were yellow
