> It's pretty weird.

That's a nice way to say it. I'd call it "absurdly confusing". I can see the use case for people wanting to discover interesting stuff in a language they don't speak, but it has led me to wonder (in excitement with quickly following disappointment) many times why someone I follow has apparently suddenly released a video in a language unusual for them.

Google knows the languages I speak. I have it set in the settings. Last time I checked I haven't found a way to get rid of this idiocy.
