Right now the last video with actual subtitles is from August 15th, more than two months ago, the last Short Circuit with subtitles is from December 23th, 10 months ago, and the last Techquickie with subtitles is from June 2022, over two years ago.

PC jargon, product/brand names, even basic numbers run through Youtube’s auto-subtitles come out as basically nonsense. Unless you know what it should be, or you can hear, the auto-subtitles are basically useless. There are clearly services LMG could hire, they get around to using them eventually, but people who are hard of hearing aren’t second class citizens, and there’s no reason they should wait two months to two years to get access to the same content as everyone else. Given LMG’s size there’s no reason why subtitles shouldn’t be available day one on every single video, except maybe Gamelinked/Techlinked due to the short turnaround but even then I suspect it could be done.
