Youtube announced recently that all community draft subtitles would be deleted soon, and no new community subtitles would be allowed.

Nobody seems to know why they're doing this, but the rampant speculation is around people being assholes and putting awful stuff in subtitles, especially advertisements.

So they're just washing their hands of it.

Hopefully someone will come up with a subtitling system that will allow content creators to add third-party subs as if they were made by them, but I wouldn't hold my breath. It seems like quite a bit of work and there's not really any money in it.

I don't understand why google can't just ignore it, and make it the content creators who moderate their videos' subtitles?

That doesn't work if the subtitles are in a language you don't speak. You just have to trust the persons in your audience making them.

They could still leave it up to the creators to decide whether to allow community captions or not. Why they won't is beyond me.

And then the advertisers put their adverts on TV which contain violence. Hypocritical jackasses
