Okay, so as you can see from the title of the video
Good Mythical Morning, which is a very popular
YouTube channel here.
They have shut down or they are in the process
of shutting down their closed captioning team.
Now you may be like okay,
I have not seen them caption anything at all,
which I have gotten a tweet saying that and that doesn't shock me.
But before I get into the present time,
now, I'm gonna backtrack a little bit.
About a year ago, I think, it was definitely
like sometime like a year ago,
it was before VidCon last year.
Good Mythical Morning, or at least part of their team
reached out to me, and they were asking me like
how to close caption, they were talking about
how they were gonna come up with a team.
They wanted help finding a team to be put together,
so that they could be accessible to their viewers,
which was absolutely awesome and I was very honoured
that they came to me for that help.
And everything was going fine, they announced
that they were going to start captioning their videos,
they mentioned me in that video,
you know all that stuff and it was a great moment, honestly.
And I had actually subscribed to them
for some time after that because
they were doing really, really well with the captioning.
Some of it was a little bit later, but it was happening
so, you know, we'll take it.
I think this was happening even around VidCon last year,
I started noticing that the captions
weren't going up on videos. And I don't mean like,
oh this didn't come up in like twenty-four hours,
I mean like videos have been up for a week or so
and there were no captions being put on there.
And then as months kept on going,
it was like everything just dropped.
One member of that captioning team,
I met them at VidCon last year actually,
they came up to me with concerns
about the fact that the team just wasn't working out,
management wasn't working out
and they actually told me about another person
that was on their team and I went to them,
I went to that other person and I asked them
for their story as well, pretty much the same exact thing.
And then I got a message with the email
a couple of days ago and here we are now.
So the email says,
"Thank you for all your hard work and dedication
to the captioning team in 2016,
your enthusiasm and hard work on this project
has been noticed by everyone at Mythical Entertainment
and your accomplishments are really and truly appreciated.
However, beginning January 15th, we will be closing
our Amara team and halting our captioning project
for Good Mythical Morning for the foreseeable future.
Don't worry, Good Mythical Morning isn't going anywhere
and we'll be back on January 16th
with a premiere episode of season eleven.
It's just time for our Amara team to close,
so that we can focus on making the show even better
for every Mythical Beast."
And I read this email and I think,
if you are, okay let me just, ok so actually
I went on Snapchat not long after this, and I am friends,
I'm good friends with someone who is on that team.
And she posted on her Snapchat story,
like we did not even talk about this with each other
before she posted it,
but she was just like really, what the heck at this.
And I have to say I'm disappointed,
because this is a major channel that made it a big deal
that they were captioning, and now they are turning,
and now they are shutting it down for what exactly,
to focus on making the show even better
for every Mythical Beast,
except for the deaf and hard of hearing, APD, and ESL ones?
Now, before this happened I tried my hardest to reach out
to people, I had tried my hardest to reach out to Rhett and Link,
and then I didn't have contact information for anyone else.
And I was trying to fix this problem,
because people came up to me to try to figure out
how we could fix the problem and there were no responses.
So I, it just kind of sucks that
if something was going on, why, I don't know, I don't,
I find it a little disappointing.
So, of course, the reality is that there has been,
there were people that actually came up to me
and were wondering how it was going with other channels
that have started, how they noticed that they were starting,
they were going with it and then they dropped the ball.
It sucks, actually, but that's the reality.
I can think of one other really popular YouTuber,
she started captioning her videos,
came up to me for help and dropped the ball.
Now I don't know if maybe they will bring it up again,
it says it's stopped for the foreseeable future
but I just, I feel like they are two different sections,
they're two different teams, so why shut down
this to work on this, why can't you still keep this,
because if you want to make the show even better
for every single Mythical Beast,
you would still have the captioning team on there
to make sure that they can enjoy the show as well.
Uh... I don't know, it sucks.
It's just kind of disappointing, when you know,
you see YouTubers, especially big YouTubers
really want to make stuff accessible
for their subscribers and then they kind of just like,
ah well, that's done, we don't need it anymore.
I don't know.
Now I'm not going to stop trying to get in touch with them,
there is a fan mail address but I don't know
if anything will actually get sent to Rhett and Link.
And you know I tried tweeting them and I guess
I'm going to try emailing them, but I think I tried that before
and there was no response back.
But that is the reality of it,
so there are a lot of channels that just,
they started it and then they kind of just stopped it
with nothing to say about it.
But then I look at this and I realise
that I kind of dropped the ball on,
I kind of dropped the ball myself
on working on Lights, Camera, Caption!,
the campaign that I have for that.
Yeah, there's #NoMoreCraptions,
but the original one was Lights, Camera, Caption!.
So, I gotta work on that, I wanna redo that
and I want to work harder, to spread that out through YouTube
and I wanna get to, I have a plan
to update my website actually
and make a section for that alone
and see what I can do to try to make
Lights, Camera, Caption! bigger, besides just having it on
at the VidCon workshop once a year,
because it needs to be more than that.
I mean, if anybody wants to help out
with contacting Good Mythical Morning being like,
hey why are you, why are you actually
shutting this thing down, can you please keep it up,
so that everybody can enjoy the show,
because it's a great show.
If any of you want to help me out with this,
you know, let's work together, be like hey Rhett and Link,
come on, please, because it was a great thing
and now it's just kind of like,
So if you want to follow me on all of my social media
links for that will be down below,
if you want to help support my content on Patreon,
the link to that will also be down below
and somewhere on this end screen
or you can leave a tip on ko-fi, which is a little tip jar, basically.
I upload every Monday and Thursday
unless otherwise stated and I will see you later.
Bye.
