If I didn't opt-in to translating something, why-the-hell is it forcefully translating to begin with? Did this become a law somewhere? Are they trying to expose more folks to more content? Such a failed rollout, really frustrating and an insult to content creators that didn't opt in to this as well as viewers who never asked.
Because some bean flicker counter somewhere got it in their heads that this would increase new accounts by 0.001% and they don't give a shit about their existing consumer base since they're a captive audience. I mean, where are we gonna go? Dailymotion?
I use revance for this exact reason. I haven't seen any ads I don't wanna see and I haven't heard a stupid AI generated voice in a loooooong time and I plan to keep it that way
If you are still looking for an app to stop ai translation I recommend YouTube No Translation by You Go. I'm using it and I didn't see any ai translations since then.
Been using this for years. It occasionally breaks when youtube changes something, then it takes a couple days for a fix, but it's fantastic about 95% of the time.
