    ABOUT:
    Rikki Poynter is a 27-year- old deaf vlogger on RUclips. She makes content about
    deaf awareness, accessibility/closed captioning awareness, mental health,
    feminism, and more. Since making her first deaf related video on October 1st, 2014, Rikki has been on the Huffington Post, Mic News, Upworthy, ABC News, BBC Newsbeat, BBC Ouch, BBC See Hear, and other news outlets in various countries. Also, she has been working on her new closed captioning campaign, Lights, Camera, Caption!, to try to get more RUclipsrs to closed caption their videos. After hopefully one day taking over RUclips, she wants to work on the rest of the Internet.

    • @rikkipoynter
      @rikkipoynter  5 лет назад

      I think because Playlist apparently had a contract, they thought they were safe. And I get it. If I have a contract with anyone, I expect that to be upheld unless it's an emergency. But I'm not involved in these things, so it's hard to know what happened.

    maybe a stupid question. but was it so hard for them to have screen on stage. where someone typing next to the stages text could appear? they could type anything you say. and anything there is said by anyone else for you.
    if they are a big event i would say they should be able to fix something like that.

    Ughhhh I'm angry on behalf of u (and any deaf audience members who don't know ASL) like.,., it's definitely a good try but some people need captions for some reason or another & don't know ASL
    I'm not deaf but I have trouble processing audio & whenever my mom drags me to church, I always drag her to sit by the interpreter. except the thing is, I don't know much ASL, and there's only captions for the songs :')) I've thought about trying to transcribe services for online watchers (I'm not a christian but I still want to get the information & learn about religion u know?) but like... we don't have that many online viewers & idk if that's smth that the church needs ?? idk I started talking about accessibility and then started rambling about helping out at my parents' church lmao sorry

    I would think these events should have someone or a team who is in charge of accessibility. Who know who to contact for captions and interpreters and mobility aids and whatever else. From your videos it sounds like this stuff falls through the cracks a lot. The organizers of these events need to do better.

    • @rikkipoynter
      @rikkipoynter  5 лет назад +1

      Interpreting agency said no to CART as they don't do CART after the time they did it for me two years ago because they lost more money. And they said that Playlist was relying on them to provide it even though they said they don't. That's what interpreting company said. But Playlist said that they had a signed contract for everything, so... like I said, both companies sending different messages to me and it's hard for me to know what really went on unless I saw an actual contract.
