Why are subtitles still turning on again and again if this has been a problem since 2013? 2 Recommended Answers 0 Relevant Answers 43 Replies 275 Upvotes
It's so damn annoying to have to turn off captions every five minutes' this is litteraly the worst thing going on on YouTube and it's getting worse and worse. It has been here for years and I'm starting to loose the fun in watching something when I have to change it's settings Everytime I breathe wrong.
Even turning the captions very very small and azerbaijan (just cause there is less of a chance of a caption existing there rather than German) doesn't work as the font stays small but the language resets itself and then the subtitles are back again.
Please finally fix this or this will be the reason I leave YouTube after over 10 years, I just can't stand it anymore . In the community I have found people arguing about this since 2013 , how can it be than this problem has even gotten worse? I just don't get it, seven years for this problem?
Almost seems like you don't want to solve it .

How hard can it be to make an universal setting into your account settings for the subtitles?

Even if that was the case I should have final word on what happens on MY screen.

Since 2013...?! For my case, it recently happen. For some videos, I do not need any subtitles, but still when I need them, I wanna make the choice by myself, not by some algoritm. If that is the case here with Youtube.
Also even the ads in the beginning of these videos, also have subtitle...

Some videos have it set so that the subtitles are automatically on,this is set by the uploader. I regularly watch educational courses provided online by universities, colleges in the US, and on some of them I have to manually turn off the subtitles on each video. However if I go from one of those videos to a random music video the subtitles are not turned on on the music video. This is what has lead me to conclude that the uploader has set it that way.
