Whoever made automatic AI dubs a default and impossible to disable also needs to be fired

That "feature" is so egregiously bad. I regularly consume content in three languages, and hearing the wrong language coming from my speakers is so jarring. It is a uniquely awful experience that I had never encountered before, nor even imagined.

While we’re at it can we also fire the guy who made it that we now have to click the channel’s mini thumbnail to open it, EXCEPT, when the channel is live and clicking the thumbnail takes you to the live video where you have to click the thumbnail again.

Googlers are obviously mentally challenged by the concept that there might be anybody in the world who has learned English as a second language.

Bet the idea to force outdated TTS whose robotic droning that is the pinnacle of annoyance on every single user who speaks more than one language was worth a nice bonus.

In the meantime "YouTube No Translation" addon fixes the issue. https://youtube-no-translation.vercel.app/

Same for auto-translated titles. It's like they can't fathom the idea of people speaking more than one language. At least give an option to turn it off!

I agree. But for the benefit of other people struggling, I haven't found a way to disable them as a user setting, but you can at least turn them off on a per-video basis by changing the video language in the playback settings (the little gear icon).

They could at least try to vaguely match the voice and maybe cadence of the original. AFAIU it's one of these things that would have been too hard ten years ago but is fairly easy now. Too computationally expensive probably.

ReVanced allows disabling them, and there are extensions for Browsers.

"Whoever made automatic AI dubs a default"

well thats the thing, people is so lazy and dumb that whetever new feature is available, they didnt bother to find or turn on that shit

this is the power of "default", you cant test something is working on hyperscale if you didnt make it default like youtube does

I was playing a game with a friend and the chat was increasingly full of angry people complaining about cheaters easily obtaining very hard to get items. He asked what I thought about it....

Well, the game is clearly very important to these people, it is increasingly visible. They are clearly very emotionally engaged. I'd say things are going really well!

Youtube was once a miraculous technical website running circles around Google video. I'm told they used a secret technology called python. Eventually Google threw the towel and didn't want to compete anymore. They were basically on the ground in a pool of bodily liquids then the referee counted all the way to 1.65 billion.

Some time went by and now you can just slap a <video> tag on a html document and call it a day. Your website will run similar circles around the new google video only much much faster.

The only problem is that [even] developers forgot <s>how</s> why to make HTML websites. I'm sure someone remembers the anchor tag and among those some even remember that you can put full paths inthere that point at other website that could [in theory] also have videos on them (if they knew <s>how</s> why)

If this was my homepage I would definitely add a picture of Dark Helmet.

Looks like he also forgot <s>how</s> why.

Hold on, there is a setting to switch to original audio. Just click the cog wheel on the video.

The outrage over this seems completely overblown. Do people not see the setting to switch audio?
