I've seen plenty of gamers who don't need the facecam to get popular. I think it only works with horror games to be honest and it also blocks some important aspects of the screen. Also most people have to have a presentable face if they want to be on facecam... I know it's cruel to say but it's true. Nobody wants to see kid covered in acne (just an example) screaming to Slenderman. If you have a nice voice, but not a nice face people imagine what you're like and take it to their own fantasies. (Ex: Chaoticmonki, DAMN those fangirls are all over the place.) Also about the caption part, it only works for montages. Nobody I mean nobody does this because it's NOT just a "bit" of work. It's like fansubbing an anime you have to get timing of the captions just right, how long you want them to stay there, how much of your sentence you want to put in one line, and etc. Sure it works for montages because it's usually a 5 minute video, but a majority of people don't want to put captions on because if you're watching a video you probably don't want to read text at the bottom just to understand this guy! Instead of captions how about suggesting a clear radio voice that everyone understands?
