I'm in utter disbelief... A Romanian grandma apparently read and reviewed Attack on Titans. The channel's name is literally "Grandma's reviews". It seems she's been reading all kinds of books. GRR Martin, Tolkien, Frank Herbert... some of the biggest names.
Yeah... so besides not using shitty TTS for auto-dubbing, something else I would do is add a button to manually request auto-dubbing for an older video.
With how much content gets uploaded to YT constantly, I get the feeling auto-dubbing will be a thing for new videos, and older videos will stay as they are. Or if they do get the feature, they'll be at the bottom of the work queue.
So instead, have an option accessible somewhere, to request a video you're watching be put at the top of the queue. And then you get a timer for how long it will take for it to get translated. It would probably be a matter of minutes, so you'll be able to restart the video with dubbed audio afterwards.
Man, was I ever wrong....
I assumed they would be using AI voices for these, cause that's all the rage now. I didn't try to open the video, cause who wants to watch some German thing. But no. They're voiced with Google's shitty TTS.
The one time I thought YouTube would be doing something somewhat cool, and they blow it.
Weirdest Kiwifarms reference ever. It's all the way at the last minute of the interview, if you want to skip to it. The interview itself is pretty interesting too.
