Yep. I think it’s going to be a somewhat controversial answer, for people that think the Fediverse doesn’t need anything of the sort. I think there’s a lot of value there though, if the platform can be built up to not just focus on lowest-common denominator engagement. Even as-is though, it’s a good way IMO to get people into the Fediverse, and hopefully they’ll explore it more once there.
Yeah, that’s a tiktok-ism that’s been imported into Loops since a lot of videos are just reuploaded from there. Hopefully since Loops isn’t beholden to advertisers, it can care more about accessibility and maybe allow for video options like toggling text like that off. It’s burned into the video for now, but I could see a feature where it’s not, and displayed like regular video subtitles.

I hate the intrusive text.
