You're just naive.

Ella Mae is a well-known and well-respected Deaf woman. She knows what she is talking about.

On the other hand about captioning, what do you know about the recent issue where FCC was about to permit no captioning for hundreds of TV programs?

Why should we bother trying to be the example when hearing people don't give a damn? If they see our ASL vlogs that aren't captioned, the hearing people will feel the frustration that we Deaf people felt for a very long time. They will understand and appreciate the experience much better than to watch something already captioned FOR the hearing people. They take everything for granted, so why should we comply with their expectations???

Again, it goes back the the main issue: money and timing. Not everyone have the luxury of having both available at all times when making vlogs AND captioning them.
