They used it as a way to add spam, memes, & other things no one said in the video.

Because of these people YouTube has decided to remove the option all together.

Over 130 fans of ‘Spring Awakening’ worked together using Community Captions to caption over 400 Deaf West’s Spring Awakening videos. 

List of captioned DWSA videos: [X]

People all around the world worked together to make the videos accessible for EVERYONE. Not just for Deaf & Hard of Hearing people, but also people with sensory processing disorders, and people who’s language is not the same as the video.

Most the time a video is ONLY captioned because of Community Captions.

With the removal of this feature, billions of videos will not be accessible for ALL people.
