    Actually captions like that can help you read faster. I’ve seen speed reading training things like that.

          So who is it for? This is everywhere. It’s in YT shorts, Instagram posts, etc. As a style, it’s getting pretty ubiquitous, and I don’t understand the reason for it. At best it’s annoying because if I look away for a split second, I’ll miss a couple words and it won’t make sense anymore.

            Well. A good assumption in life is if something is popular, and you don’t get it, it’s not for you so don’t worry.

            People like weird shit.

            I personally find that words on screen keeps my attention. But it annoys me if the thing I’m watching isn’t worth my attention. So it’s 50/50.
