    Apparently I can’t watch this video with the original audio. Instead some robotic female voice speaks in my language. Some dude at youtube really thought it’s a good idea to not only make this default, but also don’t provide the option to deactivate it. And it’s probably just the beginning. I am so excited for all the unwanted AI features that will be forced down my throat in the future

      Youtube gets worse every day. You might try an alternative front-end, and you can use something like LibRedirect (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/) to automatically change youtube links to the other front-end. It works for other services too, but you can easily disable redirecting them if you don’t want that.

      It’s not perfect, but it’s an option. Good luck!

      I hate this “feature” but there is always a way to deactivate it in both the web version and the app: you can change the audio track on the settings of the video (e.g. behind the cog icon on mobile)

        Nope. I’ve just checked it again, I can only set subtitles, quality, etc. but not the audio track. (m.youtube.com in firefox on android)

        Funny though that today I’m getting the original audio by default. Someone got a backlash it seems
