What bothers me is the last few lines where it notes something "important" that you NEED to pay attention to. Just to find out that it is something you already mentioned somewhere in the conversation or that is not related to the

I read the other day that one of their devs has a vanilla CC setup that consists of 10 agents running in parallel. Why doesn’t he just ask one of those agents to fix it??

By auto-play I mean in the feed, there’s an option to stop it from doing that, but after a while YouTube decides to turn it on again. It also has an option to hide Shorts, but same thing, they simply ignore it. About the dub thing, I get it
