English captions not being uploaded anymore :(.

I just found out that half of the Good Mythical Morning English captioning team have given up on volunteering because their captions aren't being uploaded, even though they spend hours on these projects. Not good for morale. Is there any way to change this? The team wants their hard work to be seen by deaf and hard of hearing fans, and it's just not happening.

There is definitely a delay between when we submit them and when they're uploaded, commonly several weeks. People who need those subtitles would really appreciate them earlier! I'm all for getting it changed.

I can't stress this anymore. They say they are busy, but I find it somewhat hard to believe considering the person responsible of uploading the captions has time to upload stuff on personal social media. Well, I just hope this problem can be fixed soon! I would really appreciate it if they were captioned so others could enjoy the show as well.

I checked in with Jen about this a few weeks ago, so she is aware of the problem. She said they've been really busy and haven't been able to upload the captions in a timely manner, but assured me they still want them. I hope that hasn't changed. :( I'm still transcribing Wednesday videos. If there's a way for me to help with the process I'd be happy to.
