At least from what I’ve seen, a lot more videos than in the past seem to have transcripts and captions, including automatically generated captions. I recently moved all my old YT videos (mostly German YoutubePoops from the early 2010s) over to peertube.wtf and they had automatic captions generated without input on my end, in English and German both.
That’s no lie, hence supplement, not replace. But the community can only grow, if people start using it more, even just a little bit in addition to YT where it works for them.
Have a look at peertube, it’s gotten to a point where it can definitely supplement YT.

Peertube is great, I wish more people started uploading their content to it
I’m deaf and the large majority of peertube videos don’t have captions :/
hmmm should probably find their request list and vote up AI captioning

It isn’t even close to YouTube.
