- I got one, "removed the dislike counts"
Yes YouTube, I have my browser set to French, but I read and understand English perfectly fine, please stop badly translating English video titles (or force-enabling french auto-dub, it's even worse).
At least I found an extension for this a couple of days ago :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-no-tr...
It constantly either translates language-learning videos entirely into english or into the language i'm trying to learn. Despite all settings on my account being set to english, if I include any non-english text in my search query that is enough to get youtube to translate all videos out of english. When it does this, there is seemingly no built-in feature to change this back, other than through addons. And there isn't even an indication that conveys the fact the video title and description are auto-translated, other than maybe i recognize the channel and can tell that its supposed to be in another language.
And part of me thinks, "maybe once i learn enough, such a feature could maybe be helpful in learning a language" But every video ive seen so far thats auto-translated into English is done so quite badly and confusingly. I can't trust the translation.
Search, the ui, recommendations, shorts, all the new ai features (dubbing, translations, upscaling).
It often resumes video at a random location after you paused it, you have to manually rewind it.
Some of these bugs are like boomerang, they come back after a year or so.
From UI perspective, they continue to hide the "recently updated" section, which should list your subscribed content only, and slowly turn it into a TikTok like app, serving you the content they think you need to watch, not the content you subscribed to.

- how important YouTube is in the real world and
- how disconnected the "Product Team" is, by inference from this reply.
