>>963370>Is it a liability/legality reason since sub files in large part are almost exclusive to copyrighted stuff?I think that's more likely. Because like you said its really such a simple concept that you'd assume its just a thing that videos editors could do. And this is all because I was looking for this scene from Evangelion Episode 26 on YouTube and saw that the only upload didn't have subs for the Kanji that appears on the screen. (Of course now that I look again there is a subbed upload of the scene that was uploaded 6 years ago, but its not the entire scene I wanted anyway)

Maybe enough people don't watch foreign stuff to have even thought of it. Besides like anime and for a lot of anime I feel like subs are usually hardcoded.
