I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

oui. the links are scraped server side which idk is a good idea.

If the browser scraped it, youtube would see our IP addresses

Good luck I’m behind seven proxies

Its German for me and that's our instance's server host location so you're right.

You can seethe all you want but we owe our lifeblood to Melenchon squeezing himself into our server rack and defending it from gladio operatives via his mac-10

I thought I had gotten drunk and turned youtube or some part of my system into French. Glad I'm not the only one.

i've been seeing them in German, but i believe the dbzer0 host is also in France.

Oh thank God it wasn't just me

I noticed that too. Maybe it's in french for LATAM/Asia? And German for Europe?

I'm sure there is a take to be had about that, but I can't craft it, something about colonialism surely

cant the youtube embed trickery send an Accept-Language header to youtube to tweak the language?

Seems like a good reason to substitute Invidious links. They actually embed a text blurb, at least in chatrooms.
