People have been "contributing" legit looking subtitles and then inserting some spam in the middle for self promotion. Most big youtube channels e.g. pewdiepie has disabled community contributed subtitles.

One possible solution is to make it very clear that the subtitles were not written by the video poster. Something like a red triangle next to the language name.
