Isn't it great to have an app now that's running ads all day long? The only annoying thing: Sometimes a video is trying to sneak into my attention span. So rude! I just want to watch ads for hours and some creator tries to entertain me? Pff... Btw, if you don't want the AI-auto translation and you mostly watch, let's say: English videos in Germany for example, alter your phone settings to english. I know... should be unnecessary. But it worked for me.

PLEASE add an option to toggle off auto-translation for titles and auto-dubs for videos and ads. As a person that's fluent in multiple languages, it's just annoying and useless, if an app forces a language on you. I don't want to encounter bad translations or bad AI voice-overs, just because an app forces them onto me for no reason. These are some of the worst features added to date, and I REALLY hate not being able to turn them off. It's nice to have the option if needed, but this way? No.

I've had the worst opportunity to encounter 2 of the worst glitches ever, While i was on my phone. The Shorts have been, Malfunctioning. In a way that the app just repeatedly restarts the Shorts being played back to the beginning, I couldn't even load the comments section. Now? after uninstalling and reinstalling, I can't even play music videos in general. Because it won't even start, It keeps restarting too as if i am clicking in video nonstop to the point it won't play a single second.
