For this one show (John Oliver) I download, I always get ALL CAPS and poorly synced subtitles. The text seems OK, but it’s barely usable because very off-sync. I’m curious: where do these subs come from?

This, right here. Live Closed Captions are often a fair bit behind the actual video, because when it comes to accessibility it’s more important to get the text right than to get the timing right.
