@Bretacious2 Captions are used EVERYWHERE these days. It's required (as in: illegal not to have them) for most big content providers. For people with reading difficulties, shorter sentences (fewer words) makes it easier to follow the story. For hearing impaired, shorter sentences means they can focus more on the visuals, hence following the story better. For translation subtitles, too many words makes it hard to read, as you're also supposed to be watching the content. Same goes for quick SoMe stories and reels, fewer words makes it easier for everyone who turn audio off to follow the visual story. In almost every case, fewer words means a clearer story. It's also better for storytellers. If I edit a piece, use a lot of time on color grading, nice graphis, etc. - then why would I like the audience to spend most of their time reading captions? It makes no sense. Short sentences makes for a better viewing experience. Of course, if it's a scientific presentation where you need absolute accuracy for citations etc. you would not use this feature.
