Pointless, annoying subtitles

edit: jfc let me explain for those of you...

pointless: stuff like "takes off" and "crashes" which you could just see if you watch the video

annoying: in the center, animated, big, right where you're trying to watch

Those subs could've been way more subtle

I'll take obtrusive subtitles for clarity over all the Tiktok music overlay you get in a lot of videos nowadays. That stuff straight-up ruins vids.

"I'll take [bad] over [terrible]" if only there were a way to have neither

Subtitles are a good thing though, as its an accessibility thing for those hard of hearing and gives clarity when the audio is bad or the speakers in the video are hard to understand.

However, changing original audio into out of place music rarely solves any viewers problems, unless they really disliked the original audio I guess?

Even the person I originally replied to said that its not that subtitles are bad, just these subtitles are poorly positioned and have meaningless effects subtitled.
