People who volunteer to caption videos but then put their own commentary in place of actual captions. And then when deaf people complain the volunteers call them “ungrateful” and “self-centered”.
What if they have the actual words being spoken along with the funny text?
They put the funny text in parenthesis with the actual words on there normally
Okay, think of it this way:
Imagine going to the movie theater and having a random stranger give you their own personal commentary the entire time.
This is not acceptable closed captioning:
Plus, when watching this in real-time it is impossible to differentiate what is being said and what is commentary. Some people put it in parenthesis or brackets while others put it in between asterisks.
If you have something funny or interesting to add, save it for the comment section. That’s why it is there.
