I am slowly weening myself off Youtube.
I finally figured out how I spot robo-voice. There's no variation in the pronunciations. I'd been sitting here wondering why a given narration was so grating and finally figured it out.
The "documentary" videos are getting irritating.
The straw is a video on USS Wasp. Nominally, it's about the flaws in her design that led to her sinking. But they can't just talk about that. They have to waste my time talking about her entire history up to the sinking WITHOUT saying a word about the design except the obligatory aside about the Washington Naval Treaty.
Something else that I've noticed is the plodding, slow, deliberate pace of the robo-voices.
They sound almost normal at 1.25 speed. That tells me it's a deliberate choice to make the video length fit some Al Gore Rhythm Section.
Then there's the videos that are clearly geared at people with severe ADHD and constantly explaining in great detail things that are self-evident and backtracking to explain them in a way that interrupts the narrative.
And I am over it.
