Veering slightly off topic, but I wanted to rant about it. I absolutely loathe the trend of putting each and every word on screen, one-by-one, as they're spoken.

As someone with ADHD it's possibly the most distracting thing with this vertical video trash format. Even worse when it's in the center of the screen, and worse yet when it's moving, as in this one with the huge bounce animation. Captions are useful, and vital for some people, but this...

And it seems they use "AI" for it, because it frequently gets homophones and other subtleties wrong, so now the kids who are raised by this stuff are going to have some awful spelling skills.

Alright, rant over. Gonna go yell at some clouds.

Agreed. There's the tech to do it, so they do it. Not a moment's thought to whether it makes the info less accessible.
