    My wife and I actually just finished the newest technology connections video. I watched it enough that she got interested in what her dork wife was enjoying. But yeah I really love the rise of captioned YouTube. TC is extra great because he’s been captioning his videos explicitly to be accessible for the deaf/hoh community because he cares about accessibility and I really just want more people to seriously consider that.

    I have a whole ass rant about how people think of hearing aid users as all old folks and that hinders my ability to get flashy ones both for style and signaling purposes. But it also comes into play in contexts like this where content aimed at 20-30 somethings will historically just not bother accommodating us as much as stuff aimed at older people.

      Alec is a total bro. I have no particular need for subtitles myself, but recommend his channel to people learning English because I know we can totally trust the subtitles, they’re not autogenerated.

        He really is. Though I do warn people that if they watch him they will develop a firm understanding and appreciation of the refrigeration cycle
