As a kid, I learned English from English language cartoons on FilmNet. I learned from German TV shows. My passion for Swedish crime series taught me Swedish.

But now, the largest tv medium of our time, YouTube, has begun auto-translating everything. Future generations will not be exposed to foreign languages and be inspired to take an interest.

There was no public review of this, no democratic vote. One company just decided to turn foreign cultures off and make the world dumber.

For profit.

Oh yes, very annoying!
You want to watch something on its original language to catch all whats usually lost on translation. Do anybody knows how to turn off that annoying translation?

Maybe we should boost DailyMotion

@hadon what I need is to figure out if Dailymotion is an ethically sound alternative. I know nothing about the people behind it.

I'm looking more in detail in an investment site and it's not so simple. Yes, Bolloré owns about 30% of Canal+ but when you see the other investors, you find a lot of Common Funds ( American retirement investors... the ones that are suffering a lot under Trump).
