It’s surprising how much YouTube pushed me to abandon YouTube. Thanks to the horrible GenAI dubbing feature always enabled (dubbing everything into Italian) and with no option to turn it off, I completely stopped watching videos from my phone. Forcing GenAI everywhere just for the hype is messed up!
