Most modern social media (TikTok, Snapchat, etc…) are only barely tolerable with the sound muted. WITH sound enabled they are a war crime.
Sound Only - only for media were watching would be boring like video podcasts, unless they hold something up then I look up for a bit. For only visuals - I rarely play mobile games with sounds or any other apps.
I almost exclusively browse or view content with no volume at all. I can only stand so much awful music, AI voice, dubbed sounds, effects or laughter. Other content where I’m looking for info, I’ll only listen to enough to know whether the video is worth digging into, and start fast forwarding or leave.
Yes
Sorry, I tend to over share, ever since my mother died proceeds to trauma dump life story
I watch almost all sports with the volume off. I think a lot of podcasts are filmed now for YouTube but I never watch, only listen.
I think it depends on the sport. Then again, I only watch 2 real sports and 1 fake one (wrestling).
Football: absolutely better without audio commentary.
Baseball: it depends. The local broadcast guys can be pretty good for a lot of regular season games.
Wrestling: commentary is part of the TV experience, but not every commentator can be Taz.
