#did i ever tell you guys abt how my HoH friend was hired to draw one of their fav youtuber’s thumbnails
Text
i open youtube and watch a video and seethe to myself abt how i would be such a good subtitler and then not do anything abt it
#danbles#i completely understand the (justified) complaint of ppl using subtitles as a way to add jokes and make it completely inaccessible#but then there’s the other side of it when there is zero humor in the subtitles for an intentionally comedic video#spell out the puns if the speaker is putting emphasis!#write out the onomatopoeia if there are sound effects that are reacted to but not addressed!#sometimes they even skip out on lines entirely#just bc someone says smth under their breath does not mean it was Actually not for the audience to hear#that being said. i will always appreciate creators that hire real ppl to subtitle their vids#instead of relying on the auto-generated captions to butcher and detract from the video#autogen captions are a fucking joke#did i ever tell you guys abt how my HoH friend was hired to draw one of their fav youtuber’s thumbnails#and when they asked the ytber if they would add captions sometime (bc the ytber already uses scripts for their vids)#the ytber just told them youtube already has captions. 😐#you can hire an artist but you can’t hire someone to add words to a screen…#needless to say my friend does not freelance for them anymore
