> Multiple overlapping speakers are represented on the top and bottom of the screen.

> This level of attention to detail makes for a better viewing experience

Quality concerns aside, I've always disliked having text on the top and bottom of the screen simultaneously. My eyes are focused on the bottom of the screen, so I sometimes don't even realize that there's text at the top and have to pause/rewind to figure out what I missed.

I think putting both speakers' captions at the bottom with some kind of differentiator makes more sense.



The top one is usually a background speaker, and not the focus of the scene. It is extremely rare that directors do that anyways.
