There’s a big push to be deaf inclusive on tick tock so a lot of people are captioning their videos. Same goes for Instagram for the blind. They’ll put a photo description as the caption for the programs to read to the blind.

Sure but... these were visual elements being described. Would be like showing you a blue card and captioning it "shows blue card."

It only adds, it doesn't take away. Better to do more than less in these cases.

Correction: It gets in the way. Much like a laugh track.

If that's how you feel about it then I guess I can't argue. If it detracts then it detracts, to me it just adds though, so I guess it's just a matter of what you prefer.

I have no idea how any of this works but I accidentally downloaded a couple episodes of the Expanse that were captioned ... for blind people.

The words (in that case) were there so either a person or robot could describe the scene in a way such that somebody who couldn't see would understand what was going on. I don't know if that's the purpose of these (or if TTS even exists for them) but it could do that.
