Subtitles

[Furry Gurus]

Are there people out there who watch YouTube video with subtitles? I know I always turn them off, but I also don't need them when watching an English of Dutch movie. I just wrote some Dutch subtitles for my English video about a Dutch product and I was wondering if it would be used Thanks for the help

By subtitles do you mean Closed Captions?
If you already wrote them, you can add them into closed captions and see what that does for your video.

yes I mean closed captions I did it all proper, I was just wondering if there are people here who use them or if viewers use them in your videos.

I mean sometimes I turn on auto captions to make it funnier with bad subtitles. But I generally only watch videos that I can understand the language of. But I'm sure it would draw in a few outsiders

I'm pretty sure deaf people use them. They can't hurt and it's possible that the text from the closed captioning can be considered by the algorithms (purely guesswork, and likely a long shot, but I have no idea about this).

I have watched some with subtitles just to see. But they aren't accurate

You can edit your captions/subtitles in the video editor subtitle section so that they are more accurate. Not sure how it works with translation though, but the native language can be edited.
