    Usually when its ai voice you need to switch the audiochannel.

    My YouTube feed is 9/10 in English and for some reason YouTube tries to force German ai voice on me :(

      Install the ‘YouTube No Translation’ extension to get rid of it, it’s so incredibly annoying. Insane that Google still can’t fathom bilingual people existing 🙄

      Possibly true.

      Lately, Youtube decided it would be a great idea to automatically translate every video into every language, so that people can watch videos from other languages without any barrier. A good idea in theory, maybe, but they implemented it by replacing the original creator’s voice with an AI-voiced AI translation (without the creator’s consent, of course) … and the technology is far from good enough to accomplish that well.
