Usually when its ai voice you need to switch the audiochannel.

My YouTube feed is 9/10 in English and for some reason YouTube tries to force German ai voice on me :(

Install the 'YouTube No Translation' extension to get rid of it, it's so incredibly annoying. Insane that Google still can't fathom bilingual people existing ๐Ÿ™„

The amount of extensions that I need to have to make YouTube a usable experience again istg

[โ€“] mamg22@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

true, I currently have about 5 or 6 extensions to keep that crap usable.

Ublockorigin for ads, improve YouTube for misc enhancements (block shorts, delete button on playlists, codec options), hyperchat to optimize the slow chat on live streams, that no translation extension, sponsorblock to skip in-video ads and identify sponsored content. Theres also dearrow but I disable it for performance reasons.

On mobile it not better, but Morphe fixes all of those quirks too.

Just amazing how shitty a service can get, but shareholder value shall rise infinitely I guess

Possibly true.

Lately, Youtube decided it would be a great idea to automatically translate every video into every language, so that people can watch videos from other languages without any barrier. A good idea in theory, maybe, but they implemented it by replacing the original creator's voice with an AI-voiced AI translation (without the creator's consent, of course) ... and the technology is far from good enough to accomplish that well.
