Auto-generated captions are nearly useless for more technical topics. No one is advocating for sign language translation, but to comply with the ADA they would need to be manually Closed Captioned. 20,000 videos would be prohibitively expensive to pay for people to caption these, so they decided to take them down instead.
I think it's a shame, but if they had just captioned them as they released them, it wouldn't have been such a burden to do all 20,000 at once.
