Instead of making a Thanksgiving leftovers sandwich, you could try this:
I’m eating extremely cronchy granola while watching so I turned on the auto-generated closed captions. I’m a big fan of how at 1:55, the blender noises were interpreted by the clanker as [Applause].
“Applause,” “foreign” and “music” are YouTube’s favorite subtitles when it doesn’t know what’s going on.
I always have them on because IMHO almost everything is improved by subtitles, but there are definitely flaws to YouTube’s approach. It annoys me that YouTube will keep your speed settings (which are annoying to change right at the end of a video) between sessions but will discard subtitle settings not only between sessions, but sometimes over the duration of an ad.
Also, I don’t mind when a creator doesn’t write subtitles for their videos - I’m sure it’s a lot of effort - but I don’t get why some videos (including those that have been up for plenty of time to be processed by YouTube) outright disable the captions.
