Damn I miss those. Nowadays it's really hard to find a video that's in another language and has subtitles. The only subtitles you will find are the automatically-generated ones, which suck

They're at least understandable (usually), but they're like 5-10 seconds behind the video (sometimes longer), and they can be difficult to interpret at times.

They're only about 90% accurate and usually that's better than nothing, but sometimes the little bit that's wrong is very confusing
