ok youtube just said “fuck you if youre deaf or hard of hearing or just want to watch a video in a different language”

https://twitter.com/LiamODellUK/status/1288869766980042752

and you know what the fucking bullshit is  they’re replacing it with a ~6 months free of a subscription to a third party captions provider~ which of course you’d have to pay for after those 6 months are up and you KNOW random youtuber #9039 isn’t going to bother to keep paying for that either because they won’t have the money or they just won’t care. and youtube’s going to act like that’s a perfectly fine alternative that won’t result in the majority of the site suddenly going from “more or less accessible” to “Fuck You If You’re Disabled” 

“citing low usage” are you fucking kidding me nearly every worthwhile video i watch uses community captions. sometimes they’re kind of janky cuz they were made by some 14 year old who thought it’d be funny to put their own irrelevant jokes and commentary in there but that wasn’t a reason to ditch the feature entirely when its so useful and important

i’m not even hard of hearing and i rely on them to watch videos in other languages…this is literally how people have been making english subs for japanese songs and the like for years and it was great because you didn’t have to reupload the videos yourself and take away views from the original creators. many creators don’t allow reprints of their work whatsoever so if they go through with this (which unfortunately they seem pretty deadset on because lololol moneyyyyyy) it’s entirely likely that there just won’t be a way to watch that content with captions

there’s a petition to keep community captions…i don’t know if it’ll really do anything since they’re already going ~oh but we have Paid Alternatives!~ but don’t just let this pass by this should be a huge deal but i’ve barely seen anyone talking about it (not that i expect people to talk about things of any particular importance on tumblr but it’s not even getting attention on twitter beyond that one thread and like 2 other posts)

so like. sign this and shit don’t let youtube just actively get rid of accessibility features without anyone caring (though i’d say probably use twitter if you want to actually get their attention i don’t think they’d look here) http://chng.it/LN9HRNmnkg

Il Volo: the weirdest questions from Le Iene interview

The interview was in Italian, I just translate it and make it in some GIF to save their reactions

(for the new fans who didn’t know it, and for the old ones who like to remember it)

portugal be cookin

people can get as salty as they want about portugal’s victory but unlike 2015 (il volo) and 2016 (sergey lazarev) there’s nowhere to really lay blame because portugal won the juries AND the televotes and so portugal can kind of just take all that salt and make some really delicious portuguese dishes (I KNOW ZERO R.I.P.) and I think that that’s hilarious

Arrivederci Roma

Goodbye, goodbye to Rome

City of a million moonlit faces

City of a million warm embraces

Where I found the one of all the faces far from home

[languages-in-dark-times]

Piero: Is there a word that’s a mix between angry and sad ?

Gianluca: malcontented, disgruntled, miserable, desolated

Ignazio: smad.

[languages-in-dark-times]

[languages-in-dark-times]
