you know.... most companies include subs in the DVD or file.
For free.
You're paying for a service that should be the universal standard.

True, but some scene members strip the subs from the media, although it's getting rarer these days.

I also use Bazarr to fetch SDH subtitles which include subtitles for background sounds and the names of who is talking.

I agree that ideally subtitles should be included on all, but we don't live in a perfect world.

Does anyone know which scenes are best for subtitles. I hate watching a movie and there is a foreign language and I know there’s supposed to be text on the screen but I get nada. I have to use context clues.

They often do not include many languages, sure if you want English subtitles it's likely they will be there. But good luck getting subtitles for movies and shows that didn't have an official in the given country.
