even using FreeTube, i have to change audio track and subtitle settings almost non-stop...

it's slightly less annoying to see wrong/unnecessary subtitles. but it's pretty confusing/tiring when the algorithm interprets sound effects or music (instrumental even) as Hindi or Uzbek or something and i have to turn off subs even if there is no talking.

audio on the other hand πŸ€¬πŸ‘ΏπŸ‘Ή

even if I watch a video not in either of my 2 fluent languages, i don't ever want to hear any dubbed/ai-gen audio track.

any idea if this is in YouTube's issue tracker?

regardless, in the absence of fix from YouTube side, any clue if this can be improved on the client side?

PS - any responses telling me to just watch peertube instead will be downvoted and user will be blocked. fyi i don't reject watching peertube but my chosen antidote for the corporate streaming disease is πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ

edit: forgot to mention the video title auto translation presenting any and all languages' videos as if they're in my language πŸ‘ΏπŸ‘ΏπŸ‘Ώ
