    On the last point, it’s probably not for something better or standardized, It’s gonna be to push the AI captioning and dubbing.

      What have auto-generated/AI caption contents to do with the general format captions???

      YT has auto-generated captions now for years, so why would they remove an unsupported, internal format because of that?
