even using FreeTube, i have to change audio track and subtitle settings almost non-stop…
it’s slightly less annoying to see wrong/unnecessary subtitles. but it’s pretty confusing/tiring when the algorithm interprets sound effects or music (instrumental even) as Hindi or Uzbek or something and i have to turn off subs even if there is no talking.
audio on the other hand 🤬👿👹
even if I watch a video not in either of my 2 fluent languages, i don’t ever want to hear any dubbed/ai-gen audio track.
any idea if this is in YouTube’s issue tracker?
regardless, in the absence of fix from YouTube side, any clue if this can be improved on the client side?
PS - any responses telling me to just watch peertube instead will be downvoted and user will be blocked. fyi i don’t reject watching peertube but my chosen antidote for the corporate streaming disease is 🏴☠️
edit: forgot to mention the video title auto translation presenting any and all languages’ videos as if they’re in my language 👿👿👿

I think this is a little uncalled for…
I was travelling last week and ran into something like this on an older tv with a weird youtube integration - some custom app, not an official YouTube app… Videos that are “dubbed” into other languages will play one of the dubbed audio tracks (German in this case) instead of the original, no matter what language or region the TV and app is set to (I tried many). The worst part was that there was no way to change the audio track at all in that app, essentially rendering it useless.
fuckery
Yeah it’s so annoying, and also the title autotranslation. I hate it. I started to download the videos using yt-dlp.
The only way to get rid of all those annoyances.
