Hey I want to do an episode about fan songs at some point (stuff like MckiRobynsP's Dangan Ronpa songs, CircusP's "How To Pretend," etc.) and I want to feature as wide a variety as possible. If you know any good ones (or you've made one and you want it included!), please tell me in the replies!

Absolutely grotesque. YouTube has made a feature where they train an AI on your voice, and according to the FAQ it's opt out, but if I go to opt out there's… no opt out, because I haven't been opted in yet. At some point they're just going to turn this on, at a different time for every account.
So there are signs that the very unethical autodubbing feature YouTube is rolling out will be opt-out instead of opt-in. Found these on their FAQ pages for it, so please keep an eye on your channels if they ever push the dubbing to be auto-enabled.
Keep this shit off.
Keep this shit off.
