There's free software that allows you to create subtitles/captions. For your average consumer who just wants to shoot a family video and upload it, that is a very large barrier to entry compared to youtube. For a high quality video creator who puts a lot of effort into editing videos, it's not much extra effort. This would be one way to ensure most videos are high quality.
- Splines 10y ago> This would be one way to ensure most videos are high quality. I'm not so sure of that - Amazon can't possibly police every single video to ensure correct closed-captioning. There are likely tools that can take a video, rip the audio stream and machine generate a subtitle file for you. If you have a person uploading a family video this will pass the "good enough" bar for you. You'd get something close to Youtube's automatic closed-captions.
