Turn on the Subtitles campaign

Also of course Netflix (and Amazon and Disney+) don't use traditional "block" subtitles (ie Ceefax style, or the style we know them for). They use a regular font, Arial style, so a letter i for example doesn't take up an entire character block like it does on "traditional" subtitles (ie the spacing between the letters is more normal/natural looking), so there is probably more scope to fit more text on the subtitle if it has a load of narrow characters. Spacing or Kerning I think the technical name for it?

For Prime you can customise the subtitles appearance in your Amazon account (you can pick a colour and a background if you wanted to, and I believe even pick Comic Sans as a font or a more traditional "blocky" font, which I think they call a typewriter font). Netflix for what its worth doesn't let you pick Comic Sans but you can have typewriter.

Small but significant. For some people with certain conditions it's more than just an annoyance but causes a cognitive overload because they can't process the subtitles and everything else on screen and in audio, and they can't ignore them either.

I forget the specifics, whether it's certain types of dyslexia or certain autistic spectrum conditions but I believe it is a genuine problem for some people.

Personally I feel that whilst all kids TV should contain subtitles I don't think they should be 'burnt' into programmes. Instead children and parents/guardians should be encouraged to press the subtitles button on their remote, with it being explained to adults how subtitles can help with children's learning.

Or maybe the default setting is that they're turned on, so you have to actively turn them off if you don't want them on screen? So the opposite to how it currently stands. That would make the subtitles more prominent, and many kids probably just wouldn't bother turning them off, but at least the choice would be there if you wanted to.
