I watch with captions on just so I have a clear understanding of what's being said; sometimes dialogue is jumbled, or quiet, or ambiguous in some way, so having it written down is best.

I'm also used to watching anime with subtitles, so it's a natural instinct.

Even when the shows in English? That's weird. I get distracted trying to watch a show in English with subtitles, I always finish reading what the characters will say before they say it.

I'm 29 and I love subtitles, I don't always trust myself to correctly hear what is being said. I'm very bad at deciphering song lyrics as well, I try to look them up as often as possible

Sometimes characters speak lower than the other characters so I need it. I hate having to go back just to listen to what was said again. Especially when characters do that whispering shit to sound menacing/embarassed. Otherwise im ok without it.

They bother me in movies, but they are a must for games when available. Not sure why.

I would prefer not need to use subtitles, but it seems too often that people mumble or the music is loud and then the dialogue is quiet. So i just leave subtitles on all the time

In any other language than English it's obviously necessary.
When I'm watching British hooligan movies, it's very necessary.
Sometimes I can't understand the accent, especially Southern stuff.

This basically.

And it also helps me to learn some more English, especially when I can compare it to Dutch subtitles, like I can do on Netflix.
