Can't have a double standard and expect to get away with it. I am seeing more videos in DVTV, for example, by people willing to include captioning to their signing. I make sure I include captioning in my videos as well, whether I talk or sign. Plus, if you want to make your grievances known to as many as people as possible it'd be a good idea to caption your signing videos so that even hearing people or those who are learning sign language can understand what's going on and be able to support you.
