Is Alphabet High? Can't Turn Off Auto-Dubbing on YouTube Videos? What?


Sure... I get it... some people might like this. I am not one of those people. I think there are other people who would like to be able to turn auto-dubbing off globally. Recreational cannibus is legal in California, but shouldn't YouTube's product management team just sort of take it easy on the weed?

I'm curious what data they looked at that said people wanted this. It's probably time to build a YouTube competitor that differentiates itself by not giving free THC gummies and psychoactive cacti to their product managers.

Btw. do alternative YT frontends like Invidious help? Not the best way to go about it but for some people it's probably worth trying.

Creators have the option to turn on auto-dubbing. Youtube doesn't do it automatically.

You have the option to turn it off under the gear icon in audio track.

If that's not it, feel free to post an offending video.
