Autocaptions have gotten better but yeah they still are far from perfect. Community captions should never have been removed, that was a great tool.
Transcripts are unfortunately a lot of work for unscripted content but with digital tools they're easier than ever. Scripted has no excuse...

The vibrant pink too and that is disappointing. Hot pink stained glass window will forever be a dream

Versions of these Gen-Ai infographics with Alt-text for better legibility!

Worst part is that YT can't be used as just audio without the system thinking ur watching and Spotify apparently also automatically plays video (I heard, I don't have Spfy) so that also counts more views than are being rlly watched
So the views are inflated but they still are a driving force :///

Oh is that why ASD is called ASS in Dutch

Captions can be done on just audio (with like, a logo on screen). Obviously being able to see the person also helps lots but there's a decent inbetween

Hate that!!! I'm not watching any video for a reason!

These absolutely play a role, undoubtedly

I absolutely hate podcasts switching to video. The appeal was that we never need to look at anything ever to fully understand everything. Now we're missing gags, images, etc when we're "only" listening.
The added beauty workload for female presenters is a great point against it too! Fuck that shit

Yeah that's a common thing people opt out of. But not like they don't close the eyes :')

Not me reading Shad as Shadbase for a sec 💀 Could imagine him leaning into AI
Not that Shadiversity is much better but certainly... Different

Oh yeah I love me a good video essay to do mindless tasks! Just kinda assumed it would be a quick watch before bed lol
But I actually prefer deeper dives anyway ✨

Whoof, two hour video. Maybe not watching this one today but that will be great for doing chores tomorrow 🙏

I have always thought this whenever I hear the song 🥲

Happy Holidays 🎄❤️
