Whoever made automatic AI dubs a default and impossible to disable also needs to be fired

Hold on, there is a setting to switch to original audio. Just click the cog wheel on the video. The outrage over this seems completely overblown. Do people not see the setting to switch audio?

The setting does not persist, not even within the same session.

Often times there is no setting to disable this

You know who has great information density? Pornhub. If you open Pornhub on a 4K screen, you will absolutely see none of the thumbnails. I think YouTube is overdoing it, but it is really a thing of: people are either using really small screens or 1080p. 4K is still not around much.

Because unlike YouTube, porn is an actually competitive industry with plenty of “tube” sites to choose from. So they have to compete on UX.

Google "Ethical Capital Partners."

Operates:

Pornhub

RedTube

YouPorn

Brazzers

Digital Playground Men.com

Reality Kings

SpankWire

Is there a setting to disable it globally or has every video to be switched?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Revanced is the best UX for Android, can remove a lot of things as well (like shorts).

It also contains more ads then you tube itself.

There's no ads on Revanced...

To be clear, this is not a value judgement. I pirate content sometimes, and I use adblockers, but ad blocking is definitely piracy – you're circumventing the method of paying for content. I realise that online ads have other implications such as tracking that, say, a blu-ray rip downloaded from a torrent doesn't have, but the reason for piracy doesn't change the fact that it is.

> but ad blocking is definitely piracy This is a huge escalation of an already over-stuffed term. Equating piracy to theft was bad enough, now choosing to not view ads is also piracy, which is theft? I try to be chill here but no, foot down, absolutely not. Blocking ads is nothing more than determing what content comes in on the wire to the computer you own, or what content is rendered in your web browser. That's it.…
