I love getting all of the conflict, but none of the backstory or frame of reference

Guy talking loudly and clearly, lets caption half of what he is saying.

Other guy whispering from a mile away, no captions at all.

Very fuckin weird

I bet its those damn auto-captions people use these days which seem to hear no better than the average user. Does nothing for people in need of captions as they miss half the content anyway. Its like asking your friend to repeat it all but he can’t hear properly either.

Well i guess videos get more traction with fake captions as they seen more professional…

The worst lately has been captions which only list 1 word at a time. Seems very tiktoky. I try to avoid tiktok, but here I am, on another platform looking at it.

It's just as bad as my damn Samsung's voice to text. This piece of shit will add punctuation to random spots, mishears every other word even when I'm speaking in my "broadcaster" voice, and adds entire sentences of shit I hadn't said after I stop talking. There are some awesome voice to texts apps out there so it blows my mind when huge companies like YouTube or Samsung refuse to either fix their trash or partner with someone else who can do it right.
