I could believe this is a filter designed to simplify conformance to some YT standard.
I could believe this is a side effect of something else.
I could believe its a problem with some output devices (sw) of the nature of "oh I'm ASCII I can't handle UTF-8 encoded data" which doesn't have a good default.
Is there some more direct profit/IPR motivated approach which directs this format of all others should be removed?
this just keeps happening over and over. And I can't find any logical reason why they are doing this. Surely you can't lose money due to supporting a colorful subtitles format? Ditch youtube. You most likely do NOT need it
