Why do I need captions?
"The majority of my viewers can hear and speak English."
There are 466 million people around the world who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.Having captions that accurately match the meaning and intent behind your content will greatly improve their experience
"YouTube generates automatic captions for me, and those help enough to follow along without audio."
Only around 360 million people speak English as their first language.Automatic captions aren't usually accurate enough to be reliable or enjoyable.Although automated tools are getting closer every year, in 2020 they are still dissapointing and often fail to relay the true intent of the person speaking.Having accuration captions also makes tools non-English speakers use, like YouTube's auto-translation, more likely to work.
"I don't think I have followers who need captions."
You wouldn't know, because they've already skipped you.Up to 71% of people with disabilities leave a page immediately if it is not accessible.
"Business-wise though, I wouldn't be missing out on enough views from people with disabilities to make a difference."
60% of YouTube views are from non-native English speakers.
