Move YouTube Subtitles Out Of The Way

The thing about following along to any kind of programming tutorial on YouTube is that current thing being typed, whether into the terminal or an editor, is eventually going to be toward the bottom of the screen. If subtitles are enabled, which they mostly are now that they can be auto-transcribed, then they will appear on top of text being typed.

It's nice having the subtitles, but not if they are constantly covering up the current focal point of the video -- the latest line of code or command being typed out.

YouTube's web player allows you to grab and drag the subtitles anywhere within the player. So, once they start being in the way, you can drag them up to the top of the screen and continue to follow along.
