Youtube auto-dubbed Limmy with an American-sounding robot voice and I was instantly hurled back to the early days of speech recognition software not recognising Scottish accents

      Oh wow, it’s on by default as well. That’s bogging.

      Took me a second to find how to actually hear the real audio.

      Gear cog > audio track > German

      Well done YouTube on so confidently identifying the incorrect language.

        Turns out that the option to turn it off doesn’t even show up on mobile browser

          On mobile I can strongly recommend using an app like Tubular for watching YouTube. Still have to use YT itself to comment or anything but.

            To be fair, not commenting on youtube is generally a good practice

          I use Revanced and set my preferred language to Suomi (finnisch). Youtube can’t dub that, so I effectively disabled autodub. To my knowledge, this is the only way. Hope that helps :)

            That’s actually kind of hilarious. I love the notion that one day they will roll out Finnish dubs and your entire youtube will just be a robot speaking rally Elvish at you
