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

    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
