People have noted that those in countries like Japan and Korea rely heavily on community-submitted translations. Google said in its statement that its two other captioning options - auto-generated or manually uploaded by the video’s owner - will remain available, and that it’s also offering to “cover the cost of a 6-month subscription of for all creators who have used the Community Contribution feature for at least 3 videos in the last 60 days.”Īlthough Google notes that less than 0.001 percent of channels have published community captions and that they show on less than 0.2 percent of watch time in the last month, users have greeted the news with dismay. Google announced that it will be shutting down the feature on September 28th this year, citing a lack of use and reports of “spam and abuse.” The tool was predominantly used to let anyone contribute translations for video titles or submit descriptions, closed captions or subtitles. YouTube users will have to say goodbye to Community Contributions soon.
