Fucking hardcore subtitles... and theyll be dead center over the video, and auto-transcribed wrong.
I think it helps avoid copyright though
And a moving highlight like it’s goddam karaoke. Absolute nightmare.
Or, even worse, the video shows them one word at a time.
Another reason not to use TikTok. I don't use it, but I've seen clips from it. I'm not sure what the point is of the subtitles when they zip by, a few words at a time, before you can read them (and I'm a pretty fast reader, so that's saying something.)
To get your attention. I know cause when I find one of these videos the captions feel like a flashing light telling you something important is happening, it's worse than youtube's shitty clickbait because is baked into the video so you can try looking away, but it's so distracting it genuely feels you're fighting the video by ignoring them.
They are also pointless. One word at a time doesn't have any benefit over normal captions, it's just distraction.
They turned an accessibility feature to an inaccessibility one.
