Yes, because a regex match is cheap, easy and predictable. I don't see a reason why it needs to be any more complicated than that.

- dylan604 2y agobut that's not how Googs makes money
- root_axis 2y agoWhat does that have to do with anything? The text transcript for the video already exists on the client, implementing this behavior is trivial with that in mind. Whatever creepy analysis YouTube is doing (which I don't doubt they are), this feature isn't evidence of it.
- dylan604 2y agoyou honestly think that Googs spend the time and money to develop automatic transcription/translation for anything other than figuring out ad sales to videos? anything else they've done with it is just bonus features from the work on how to direct ads. how is that difficult to grok?
