YouTube is shutting down crowdsourced captions
So then there can be a website or browser extension built to create subtitles. We aren't dependent on YouTube to do everything for us.
Especially if the sub's are stored and shared, it will enable them to be used on mirror videos in case YouTube takes something down.<p>I actually think this a good thing. Maybe the community will actually we that dependence on proprietary systems isn't a good thing.
