At least it's optional.. YouTube thinks if you're accessing from country X, you want the video titles in language X. Utter fucking geniuses. I say "thinks", it sometimes does this and sometimes doesn't. And there's no "Leave the fucking titles alone" option anywhere...

Reminds me of IMDb pulling the same genius move of "Hey, here's the title of that movie as it was released in the region we've geolocated you in!"

It's not optional. It auto dubs stuff assuming no one in the world speaks more than one language or would rather listen to original audio with subs
Optional in the sense that there's a way to switch it back after a "wtF?! @#%$#@ you YouTube!!!"...
