It’s actually cause people are just lazy slobs who are so accustomed to just audio and things with sheer amount of details summarized in like one paragraph or less. It’s kinda sad but I mean almost everyone is being accustomed to this kinda way unfortunately. TL;DR tho..?
tbh i have trouble processing audio and reading helps me register information easier. i'm more of a visual learner.
I always have captions on when i watch tv so i totally get it! Also, this is so beautifully written! Worth the read.
