Instead, creators are using YouTube’s alternative captioning tools.” “As a result, the feature is rarely used with less than 0.001 per cent of channels having published community captions (showing on less than 0.2 per cent of watch time) in the last month. “While we hoped Community Contributions would be a wide-scale, community-driven source of quality translations for Creators, it’s rarely used and people continue to report spam and abuse,” the Alphabet-owned biz said in a statement. After the creator reviewed submissions, they could approve them to appear as captions on their videos. The feature allowed creators to crowdsource subtitling efforts to viewers, make content more accessible to the deaf community, and get captions translated into various languages. The decision to axe the so-called Community Contributions feature was announced in July, and came into effect on Tuesday. YouTube has removed the capability for netizens to add captions to videos after it said the feature was hardly ever used – and if it was, it was used to slap “spam, abuse, and low quality submissions” on web vids.
