My habit started full force while watching foreign TV series and reading translations of dialogue. When I was growing up, I avoided subtitled content like some avoid black and white movies. When I re-watch live on HBO on Sunday night with the captions on, everything becomes clear. On Wednesdays, I'm fortunate enough to get a subtitle-free preview of the latest happenings in Westeros, and I'm lucky to understand half of what's going on. Frankly, I couldn't follow the action without having the dialogue at the bottom of my screen. Subtitles come in quite handy watching House of the Dragon. Or for great foreign shows like Bordertown or Money Heist to follow the action. You might be thinking subtitles are for the elderly or hard of hearing. In fact, I find them essential for TV watching.
