Stupid, frigging YouTube!!!

[wiseheart]

Okay, I'm royally pissed! I've been watching older episodes of "Richterin Barbara Salesch" on the Sat1 channel, and now some of them are suddenly auto-dubbed. What the freaking hell? Isn't there enough English-speaking stuff out there, now they are auto-dubbing German channels? And not just this one - I tried to watch some baking stuff, namely how to make Bratmandeln at home, and one of those was auto-dubbed, too. I've tried to find out how to remove the auto-dubbing, but apparently, I can only do that for the stuff I've uploaded myself. If anyone knows ways to do it for other videos, too, please tell me.

In other YouTube news, I'm about to go cold turkey on the stupid stuff I've been watching too much lately. I've blocked several dozen channels and hope for the best. We'll see. That will give me back a lot of time I've wasted in recent weeks.

We also had choir practice today. One of M's pets showed up again - joy, joy... not really. M finally realized that the way too ambitious Kodály piece simply isn't doable with about twenty people, more than half of whom is middle aged (to put it mildly). So we'll sing something else instead, which is, at least, a relief.

Du kannst das in den Einstellungen ändern, wahrscheinlich bist Du da aus Versehen drauf gekommen.

Danke, ich hab's hingekriegt. Hoffentlich werde ich das jetzt nicht bei jedem auto-dubbed Video machen müssen.

Oh dang.

Yes, I've noticed they auto-dub some German videos now. What's convenient for others is annoying for us.

Thank God meathiel found out how to undo it! Still, if I have to do it with each individual video… 👿

I didn't know auto dubbing was a thing. I hope you manage to find a different channel to watch them on. For all my love of asian TV, I dislike dubbing and always choose subbing instead.

Happened to me, too, and I definitely had not changed the settings. Plus, it happened only with a few videos. Oh dear, the dubbing was horrible! That computer-generated voice alone...

I know, and then you have to rewind the video as when you were hitting the tiny buttons and trying to ignore the awful dub-voice you missed the start.

Apparently, it is a wonderful new feature on YouTube — NOT!

Plus, you can half-hear the original beneath it and consequently not understand either. It's a good thing that you can switch it off in the settings.
