Well everybody fucking hates the TikTok voice, but like 90% of those videos have subtitles and you can just mute the fucking thing and read what its saying.

Lots of "watching videos" is actually "reading videos" these days. Especially with technical How-To videos, which often require you to read what's on the screen as well. If my How-To video is about coding, reading the code on the screen is pretty damn important.

I'm constantly watching internet videos completely muted while reading the text subtitles.
