Now we need to address on the issue of quality of captioning/subtitling. We have solely been concerned on the quantity. We have been building on the infrastructure for the immedite delivery the visual equivalency of the spoken word. A delay of at least 30 minutes to broadcast is indeed necessary to present a complete presentation of audio and accurate subtitle equivalent of the spoken word.
You have to turn off the sound of the TV to evaluate the quality of what comes off the TV screen. If you are able to read everything what is said, you only then know it is top quality. Nothing less.
Why the ASSHOLES in the TV industry let anything like shit go out into the air and earn a shit of money? What an audist society are you ASSHOLES in the TV industry!

The technical infrastructure to provide the visual equivalent of the spoken word has been established, the quality aspect, which only humans can provide, are called for. The industry must provide this and cannot stand obstinately on technology alone. They are willing to provide manpower for sound technicians to ensure the acoustic quality, why not do the same for the fidelity of the spoken word in the subtitles.
