A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

On my menu it does say original next to one of them, but tapping on the options (any of the options) doesn't do anything. My phone is set to french because I'm an immigrant in a french-speaking region and am making sure to engage with the language as much as possible. But this means the autodub puts a stupid robo-french voice on everything -- and it's not always a faithful translation either.
At this point I just let the creators know that YouTube is making their videos unwatchable to people with different language settings and that they can disable this when they upload videos.
That sounds frustrating! I've been seeing similar messages on various comment sections now. You would think there would be some kind of QA testing prior to launching this lol.
Kinda not surprising though, because youtube seems to launch experiments very haphazardly.
