Problem
Shorts viewers decide fast.
Shorts are short. The first second carries most of the attention. Captions either help the viewer commit or get swiped past.
Sound is unreliable
Plenty of Shorts viewers scroll on mute or at low volume.
Vertical real estate is tight
YouTube Shorts UI occupies meaningful screen space.
Manual caption work blocks volume
If you post often, slow captions throttle the channel.
