Add to that the not deselectable auto-translation Youtube is doing.
I hate it so much.
Recently even many audio-tracks are soulless Al voices instead of the original track.
I am bilingual, you pea-brained video-platform-software!
You mean Newpipe?
Doesn't make it better. ..
Sure, I can at least set my standard language to English at least.
But now it will translate the German videos instead...
Or am I missing a setting?
This pisses my partner off. She became quite fluent in English over the past few years, but the headlines and descriptions all get auto-translated to German anyways. Unlike every other platform, there is no "Never translate language XYZ"-option, which Google Translate OTOH does offer.
And just swapping her account language to English UK or so doesn't help: Then German videos get translated. Same problem in reverse. Seems the Google managers are unable to imagine someone speaking 2+ languages....
You are in the community for an app, everyone here just prefers boost and is willing to deal with the ads/donate to the dev to remove them because it means they get to use boost.

The preview is fetched from lemmy.world which is based in Germany and so Youtube serves German pages.

I hate it doubly so After training YT to not show me stuff from my homeland, suddenly I started getting hit in the face with my language -.-'

BTW: The box at the bottom:
Not a video description.
It's just an advertisement for Youtube...

Whatever causes this, it's a part of Lemmy; I get the same thing no matter what I use to browse and I don't even use Boost.

It's like that for everyone, everywhere...
But why are you seeing ads in Lemmy?

If you use the free version of some Lemmy apps, you get ads.

And I was trying to find out why, but that doesn't seem like it will be productive
