At first, I did it because I couldn't hear or understand what was being said at some point in a movie or show, so I'd rewind and turn on the subtitles, and maybe leave them on or turn them back off. Now, I always turn them on, because having started doing it, I now see how much I was missing before, when I didn't do it. Not having subtitles is one more reason (out of many) I don't like to watch movies in a theater anymore. If I miss something that was said, I can't even rewind to catch it, it's just gone. Frustrating.
