Me too, but I hate not having optional ones more.
Not as much as I hate having several options that are badly out of sync, though. That's the kind of thing that'll make me give up on a show/movie entirely.
Last Week Tonight has a bad habit of having subtitles lag behind for a while, and then speed through a few sets to catch up.
My ADHD wife and I were watching The Fifth Element on Netflix the other day. It's one of those movies that I've seen a hundred times growing up, so lots of parts are just etched into my brain. There were multiple times that the subtitles were straight up wrong, and it ruined the joke, so I had to correct the subtitles so my wife would "hear" the punchline properly. Absolutely delightful movie though; funny, dramatic, great pacing, good action, interesting futuristic sci-fi elements, Gary Oldman doing his chameleon thing to disappear into a character... Perfect popcorn movie.
Worse: you constantly keep getting subtitles in the wrong language, even when the right one is available. And you've set it dozens of times. Looking at you Youtube....
