    Hopefully it’s on by default and works like the old pop-up-video messages over the video. It should play a sound every time one pops up and then a bubble popping sound when you click on it to close it.

      Damn I miss those. Nowadays it’s really hard to find a video that’s in another language and has subtitles. The only subtitles you will find are the automatically-generated ones, which suck

        They’re at least understandable (usually), but they’re like 5-10 seconds behind the video (sometimes longer), and they can be difficult to interpret at times.

          They’re only about 90% accurate and usually that’s better than nothing, but sometimes the little bit that’s wrong is very confusing

        Yeah but it’s not that accurate, and it leaves most normal mobile users out of the picture. I know YouTube knew exactly what they were doing when they removed dislikes, but it still seems absolutely insane to remove such a useful tool for sifting through the bullshit.

      It was removed because Biden got too many downvotes. It’ll be back soon. It was stupid of them to take it away.

        That’s not why it was removed

        It was removed not long after one of their Rewind vids was disliked to hell.

        And it ain’t coming back, at least they haven’t so much as hinted at it

                  I don’t think it. It’s true. The reason is because they were pushing his agenda. They’ve already admitted that. They removed it because he was getting too many. Just because you disagree doesn’t make me wrong because that is straight truth.

      Advertisers working in your native language cannot hijack your attention when foreign language videos are running. Subtitling facilitates that, and encourages site activity that differs from consumption, such as broadening one’s horizons and being inquisitive about the real world.

    Doesn’t the quagmire currently known as the website formerly known as Twitter already have this feature? Sounds like Y’tube is late to the party.

          which is unfortunate, i think YT does it to save paid labor on moderating comments, but this allows video posters to upload misleading info and delete correcting replies, which also pairs well with hidden thumbs down

            It also allows uploaders to stop hate filled posting, like incels trashing the comments on anything positive about female characters in media.

              It also allows uploaders to stoke hate with their videos and delete reasonable takes and people calling out misinformation in the comments.

              Honestly, I’d rather the channel have the first say here. It would be even better if some independent mod team could override channel owners though if there are enough reports.

                Enough reports is how brigades are effective.

                There isn’t a great solution that solves all the possibilities, it is a difficult problem. An independent mod team sounds great until you get into the details of how they are formed and the fact that they are people too who might miss nuance or hold their own shitty opinions.

                  Sure, but a manual review is way better than any form of automated system. To combat brigading, the mod team could issue temporary suspensions if that’s deemed to be the case, and full bans if the behavior is repeated.

                  It would be quite expensive for YouTube to do that, so it’s not happening. Best we’re getting is some automated nonsense, probably based on AI.

        And Youtube will 100% allow creators to hide notes, as well. Corporations will not allow themselves to be criticized on their own pages.

          Don’t just look at the comments. Look at the replies to the top comments. 8 out of 10 times they turn super toxic super quickly in my experience.

        Yeah clearly training data does get much review for these peasant facing products. I am assuming real tool will take legions of pros to properly tune up.

        The issue not LLM per we, the issue is that none of these clown companies appear to do Amy data quality control. They just rush whatever janky thing they got to drive headlines.
