A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

What other languages? It's AMERICAN or savagery. I don't speak savage.
Since like a month ago youtube started auto translating to english videos that are in my language (spanish) and translating to spanish videos in english.
Nice
I refuse to watch auto dubbed videos. This is the dumbest "feature" I saw in a while. And the voice quality is also terrible.
And it doesn't even matter what settings I choose. Either videos in are translated into english or, when I decide to set the account to english, it randomly translates videos in my native language into english which makes no fucking sense. Just give me an option to opt-out of your brainless fuckery.
And the voice quality is also terrible.
That's the thing that surprises me the most.
There are some great open source TTS engines/models out there, and they decide to go with Microsoft SAM.
Is that an "Americans are big tech's guinea pigs" kind of thing? I still didn't get any video ruined by a dubbing AI.
I’m German and my YouTube shorts feed has both English and German Videos. Still sometimes it auto translates German Videos into English without asking me if I wanted that feature.
I don’t get it - the algorithm should see that I view videos in both languages and still it sometimes auto translates videos from my native language to English.
Ugh
Luckily I only had auto translated titles so far (which are bad enough). Can't wait for the day to be blessed with auto translated videos too.
i updated revanced recently and iirc it had an option to disable generated audio dubs. not a desktop solution but alas
