I agree that this is happening " an arms race between youtube forcing creators to make videos 8 mins long min to be able to get mid roll ads and people coming up with ways to summarize the transcript."

Two videos that give a 500 internal server error in the Network tab and an infinite spinner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuiTN4tOBr4 (edit: this has no captions so maybe it's expected, but a proper error would be better) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iShzzAK9zxk (edit: this may be because I marked the subtitles as UK English)

So it must have captions for videos for this to work?
