I probably shouldn't even be using youtube in the first place, but 5 min ago I found out youtube is now forcing videos with an AI translated voice. While at the same time not having an option to change the audio track or disable the feature.

This feels like a good example of pushing features most people don't want while not providing a normal way to disable it.

Thank God I use revanced and can spoof the client as IOS TV, this gives you the option do disable that crap.

Firefox (even mobile) has this addon "YT Anti Translate"

It's pretty bad you have to go this far just to watch a video with the actual voice it was released with...

I changed the language back to the original and never had an interaction with the ai voice again

Do you not have the original audio track on the sound settings?

Is this on the desktop chrome version, or the app? For me in the app there is no button or any way to change this. Same for the site in Firefox mobile. I was on my phone, so I don't know about the desktop version.
