Today I have found out when enabling subtitles on #youtube the area where the subtitle track is playing is no longer configured as so called live region so youtube subtitles are no longer read automatically with a #screenReader if it's running. I've also looked at #invidious which has aria-live set to off. This is unfortunate as I was expecting this to just work. It can be tested on this video if you like https://youtu.be/watch?v=3i7gkN-1sAI https://yewtu.be/watch?v=3i7gkN-1sAI
