Ya know how i occasionally do that thing where I just try to provide interesting perspective? Here's another example of that. I've seen a lot of very pleased chatter lately about how Youtube is offering some rather good movies on its service for free. This is definitely cool, but less so if you're blind. While Youtube's offerings are free, they don't support audio description, whereas many, many other streaming providers do. Even their own Youtube TV does. So, while I have indulged in a non-audio described movie from Youtube a couple times, and while I'm also aware that there are blind folks out there who specifically don't feel they always have to watch movies audio described, the idea of movies on Youtube, free or not, is much less compelling for me.
