A lot of websites have terrible code for detecting your language preference and treat "en-US" as a default in the sense that if they get any other clue what language you may speak, they will prefer that rather than "en-US". I live in a non-English-speaking country, and I've solved this by switching all of my OS and browser language settings to "en-CA". When possible, I also list the other languages I speak after "en-CA". I get non-English sites, or sites that I don't speak the language of, far less often now. Some sites are just strange though: on YouTube the UI has been a mixture of three different languages for several months.
