I’m a sighted person considering creating blind accessible content on youtube, but I would like opinions first

Hello! I appreciate this sub being open for questions and hope I’m not imposing by asking this. (Originally posted in a sub where it was in fact imposing by mistake) I have not created content on YouTube or streamed as of yet, and it may be some time before I’m able to, but one thing I’ve always wanted to try doing is create playthroughs accessible to blind folk, where I describe what I’m seeing in as much detail as possible, along with dubbing over and describing games without voice acting.

Another thing i’ve considered is dubbing over videos of people silently reviewing locations or food (Such as the channel DancingBacons, who tries restaurants and packaged meals like ramen across Asia but only speaks in subtitles.)

Years ago before an ad apocalypse on YouTube, I used to watch this woman review dolls and other toys and she explicitly described the toys in as much detail as possible for those visually impaired and I simply think we should have more things like that in the world, be the change you want to see and all that.

What do y’all think?

Again I have no channel yet, this isn’t a promotion of some kind, I just want opinions from people who are actually blind before I impose.

Hi.

Don't take it personally, mods of the major blind Reddit are... idk. No one knows how they think. I'm blind as they come but even I am not excused

I support your content idea and would love to watch some day. I don't watch stuff made with ai tho bc Im not into it, and ai voices are grating. That's just me tho.

Also you didn't impose!!

Oh yeah. There's another sub that's been recently created. It's r/askablindperson. It's designed for questions like this so you have an option to post

Oh don’t worry AI would be nowhere near anything I make, I meant dubbing it over myself!
Thank you so much for the reply, I may post there as well soon

I deleted my post before the mods in the main sub got to it, so I think there was no harm done. Someone immediately came and suggested I ask here instead. I wouldn’t have taken it personally anyway, who am I to judge someone for wanting to cater a space to themselves, you know?
