hey, could the Youtube product manager who decided that when a Dutch household puts on a video from the Dutch national news, the audio should automatically be replaced with a TTS voice reading a machine-generated English translation, come meet me in the darkest corner of the Amsterdamse Bos where there's no cell coverage? I just want to talk.

small languages have it hard enough without American tech companies saying "we know you probably understand English anyway, so how about we just replace this authentic human audio in your native language with some nice cozy machine-generated English, isn't that better 😌 "
