Adding vocab/grammar notes to Youtube videos?

Does anyone have any tips for what would be the best way to add (maybe even publicly available) study notes to **other people’s** Youtube videos?

Some ways I’ve thought of that aren’t the best are

1) adding comments with timestamps

2) adding it as subtitles (does not work if uploader does not allow it)

3) downloading the video, adding subtitles and reuploading (obvious copyright strike)

I think this could be a really good way to learn real Japanese, and by being able to offer “real-time” explanation and information on the words and phrases used could really help learners, but I’m stuck on what method could actually work for this.

  1. If you are not good at Japanese then why would you want to contribute? I’ve seen plenty of clips from vtubers and such that have English subs which are horrendous to the point of being Google translate level and others that are quite good – but it is still going to be really for beginners or low intermediate at best.
