Not directly, but if you can see the video you can screen-record it and upload the recording.
Do burned-in captions matter?
No. Frames are matched on the underlying image, not the overlay text.
Does the poster find out?
Never. Nothing is sent, liked, followed or attributed to you.
Is there a subscription?
No. $0.90 per search from a prepaid balance that does not expire.
