Comment on YouTube disabled SRV3 subtitle uploads and started deleting them on existing videos

  While that’s true, why is YouTube’s response to kill it as quickly and silently as possible? Like, I get that sometimes you’ll have to drop support for things, but there should be a phase out period during which people can either backup and re-upload videos with those captions to preserve them. They could and should honestly provide support for that.

  Now they are literally decimating people’s hard work and on top of that pissing off actual partners. Not saying it will be successful, but cutting into people’s business like that is the kind of thing you can get sued over.

    You can also use a power outlet with no grounding but don’t get surprised when your “buisness” burns down.

      Except YouTube decided it’s going to light your “buisness” on fire because you aren’t using grounded outlets

  More like unofficially supported. The fact that they worked points to the fact that they were quite literally supported.

    Unsupported typically just means they wont provide (technical) support if/when it breaks.

    Generally unsupported means “we will not support this, you’re on your own”

    Rather than “this will not work at all, we have ensured that”

  Those styling option sure sound like something SSA subs could do…Wonder why that wasnt used.
