@flying_saucers @randahl @mroach either way the fact that one needs a 3rd party client (i.e. #NewPipe or #invidious) or a specific AddOn to undo this #Enshittification is the problem.

  • And yes, these #AutoDubbing|s are an insult to native - speakers' ears to the point that I think I owe the folks who did the #localozation of #MLPFiM into German an apology, cuz whilst it is jarring, they at least didn't *"butcher my beautiful language"

So obviously #sarcasm but this really is just bad.

@txt_file The best option I found is to literally just download the video with #ytdlp and be done with that!

#YouTube's #AutoDubbing is not only an insult to the #NativeSpeakers that actually understand the language that got #dubbed into but it's also a disgrace to multilingual YouTubers that put in effort and the entire #Dubbing #Community that put their blood, sweat and tears into making decent #dubs that actually fit both time and are lipsync'd if not got minor edits to make them lipsync'd.

@mattgrayyes personally, I find the auto-translation so fucking annoying that I can only use #YouTube through #invidious and #NewPipe which don't enable that shit.

Makes me want to shout at the person at Google who decided to automatically enable this!

#sarcasm

YouTube auto-dubbing: Robotic translation annoys users and cannot be turned off

YouTube relies on an automatic feature that translates foreign-language videos poorly into German. Even premium payers cannot turn it off permanently.

Automatyczny dubbing na YouTube to najgorsza rzecz jaką ta firma wymyśliła od czasu usunięcia łapek w dół.
Bo przecież właśnie tego oczekuje każdy widz - beznadziejnej jakości dubbingu rodem z najgorzej IVONY. Ja rozumiem, że nie każdy zna dobrze angielski, ale to chyba lepiej tego nie robić niż robić tak źle.

Trudno mi w ogóle uwierzyć że ktoś to tam na górze zobaczył i stwierdził „puszczamy to, będzie dobrze” no błagam.
#YouTube #dubbing #autodubbing

@gulli Yeah, #YouTube's #AutoDubbing is pretty much garbage and in terms of the quality an insult to me as a native speaker.

I thought #MLPFiM was already bad (tho I don't fault the voice actors for that, it's just they didn't have even remotely the same budget to get similarly good talent at hand)...

Aktuell sind offenbar die #YouTube-Channel-Betreiber die einzigen, die diese Pestilenz stoppen können.

YouTube-Auto-Dubbing: Robotische Übersetzung nervt User und ist nicht abdrehbar

YouTube setzt auf ein automatisches Feature, das fremdsprachige Videos schlecht ins Deutsche übersetzt. Auch Premium-Zahler können es nicht dauerhaft abdrehen.
