Hello everyone,

I'm Andy from London, UK currently living in Lima, Peru for a few months.

We're starting a project and campaign to get more closed captions and subtitles to online video content. YouTube's closed captions facility is excellent but hardly anyone makes use of it. I'm getting fed up trying to watch videos that promote disability rights and they don't even have subtitles - or even worse, they have the automatically-generated ones which make everyone sound like they're on acid or something.

You can help us by sending us links to YouTube videos that
  • you really want to have accurate closed captions
  • you think should have closed captions
  • have entertaining or otherwise annoying or misinforming automatically-generated closed captions

Anything at all that makes you mad, sad, disappointed or even laugh out loud.

They might be news items or political speeches or messages. They may be commercial ads or promos. Even tutorials or infomercials. Any ideas out there would be great as we decide where to focus our campaign.

More about me and my personal story here.

Thanks for reading! - Andy
