It's an expense they rather not have and not enough people complain about the quality. It's also an after thought, not a part of the original production. If you think those are bad, take a look at the real time ones that are transcribed during live events. They are almost impossible to follow. I can hear but I like to keep them on because I sometime mishear but I feel for those that can't hear. It's a mess.

Agree.

My argument is that there is a positive ROI to this expense that should be apparent to these businesses, despite those benefits being intangible and not being immediate profit.
