Yeah, I definitely wish other media would experiment with Youtube-style word-at-a-time subtitles. They often feel a lot more natural than full-sentence subtitles, the way they stream in is better at providing "connecting tissue", they never spoil upcoming reveals the way subtitles tend to, etc.

(By "connecting tissue", I mean they don't have the problem where sentence A is "I like chocolate", sentence B is "only on special occasions", and at the time B appears A is completely gone, but you really need A and B to be onscreen at the same time to parse the full meaning intuitively.)
