Yeah, a social experiment to see if his views and click throughs increase. Leading to increased engagement.

That is done for timing, doesn’t do a couple words at a time and doesn’t flash on and then off of the screen immediately in most cases. What am I going to talk in time with whatever content creator? It’s purely done so people can see as much of what’s being said as possible in brief moments they scroll past/hover over the video while it autoplays without audio and to drive engagement. Not for accessibility or readability.
Not sure I agree with some of the assertion made there but regardless thanks for the reply. I look forward to checking it out.
Looks interesting, was AI used in any of this?
Whatever this image is meant to be aside. As someone who relies heavily on captions, anyone who uses this shitty, engagement baiting form of “captioning” can go step on an entire bucket of legos.
This user came into a post about a doordasher posting that they had gotten punished by the company after complaining of sexual assault. Bennyboy posted to the effect of “everything is assault these days” and went on to assert that the woman in question was “probably shit her job and made it all up”. They are quite literally a “nice guy” if their flipping out didn’t make that apparent already. Edit: I’ll just leave this here
Did I suggest that was an issue, that I couldn’t? Yes, I could have nearly 50% of the screen taken up by two sets of captions, one functional and one annoyingly used to try grabbing attention. That certainly is an option. Better than the EA tier “what, you guys don't have karaoke?” though I guess.
