Also, I had to actually turn CC on and since I was actually looking for it and it took me a while to figure out where the heck the captions were, how many average YouTube users will ever find it or bother to turn it on anyway. I guess if you want to translate your videos into another language it might be slightly useful but other than that, I really don't see how this is a big deal for those of us that make our own videos and post them to YouTube for promotional purposes.
