Do you bother with captions?

Nope, very rarely does anyone use them, and if they do, it is probably just to laugh at how wrong they are.
 
I do now. Adding captions adds more chances my videos get viewed. Example, If in the text i talk about Justin Bieber, theres a chance someone finds my video with a goole search. There are more similar advantages when adding subtittles.
 
I've only added captions with my newest video because I'm talking fast, and they're self made captions (Photoshop & Sony Vegas), but generally I don't use captions.

Unless you're really difficult to hear I would say it's ok to skip them.

I noticed they have automatic captions and you can edit them. The automatic is very poor, do you think I should bother???

Captions are important. Having captions helps your video rank higher in searches. And loading your captions up with keywords will help your videos rank higher.

I put tags in captions on vids where I don't even talk!

I type them all out myself and save as a .txt and then upload.

Next step will be to get them translated because that makes them rank higher in other countries.
