TBF, YouTube added AI CC in like 2010. And creators absolutely still can upload/edit subtitles. Most just don't bother.

    You have top type them manually, is my understanding?

    You can scrub through and type them manually, edit the AI CC, or upload a file (with or without timing).

    Yes, and you can really tell who gives a shit based on what they do with their subtitles. Both Clint from LGR And Alec from Technology Connections do their own real subtitles and it shows. Not only are they actually correct, which the auto generated ones usually are not (typically around proper nouns but they get all kinds of homonyms wrong all the time, too) but they also sometimes add asides or in-jokes which only appear in the captions or deliberately describe the racket some gadget is making in a particularly amusing way.

    Who realistically has time for that, if they have a real job?

    If you already script your videos, you can just upload the script. From there Youtube will automatically sync it to the video.

    That's not the average poor hobbyist?

    I'm not sure what you mean, but quite a lot of channels write a script first rather than ad-libbing. Not always, obviously if it's something that was recorded or streamed live there won't be a script, but you seem to be suggesting that scripted content is some ultra rare anomaly.

    It was a question.

    Im just asking about the average poor working person who works a lot but wants to document and/or share their personal hobbies, thoughts, etc that are recording on a cheap device with no ring lights, tripods, backdrops, microphones, etc.
