>when clearly they add no value at all to the businesses who use them or their customers.
They do add value. Product management is about two things: product discovery and product delivery. Canny increases your chances of doing the 1st one right. That is the most difficult thing to do: finding the right product to build. Canny allows you to get direct feedback and learnings from your users in a very simple way and most importantly, in a cost effective one. If you look at their pricing page, you might get scared, but believe me: building the wrong product is even more expensive.
Don't pay attention to the negativity of users like this. Canny is great, not only because of the product, but also because you share your leanings with other people. Be proud. You have done something a lot of people want. Ignore those who only are able to see things from their perspective.

This is plain wrong. Other comments have already given many arguments against this decision, but here is another one: language learners. I've used Youtube to learn German and Japanese. Those subtitles help me figure out what native speakers are saying, specially for videos which are not "clear" enough for the auto-generated subtitles to be good.
