That's just what I was going to say. While I generally prefer ASL vlogs with no captioning, as the English can be a distraction, I do see Taric's point. I was going to say that the best situation for me would allow the viewer to turn the captions on or off (because sometimes I do miss something and the captions are helpful), so it's good to know Google allows that.

Where that option isn't available, I think they should be captioned; it's easier for signers to ignore captions than it is for non-signers to understand ASL, after all!
