    Yeah I’ve noticed these karaoke captions (as I’ve been calling them) are extremely distracting and make it harder to actually read, especially when the subject speaks especially fast. I figure there’s a reason regular captions don’t fuckin do that and wish folks would stop making shit like this up and calling it an accessibility feature!

      My biggest gripe is it’s largely automated and therefore prone to interpretation errors. It’s lazy and makes me want to correct them but then I have to wonder if it’s just engagement bait. I concluded that even if it’s not bait I still don’t want to add value to a channel with such poor proofreading or editing.
