1. Stopped watching because of the robotic voice

I started watching and listening to this and quickly realized this was yet another video narrated by a robotic voice.

Then I stopped watching.

Why?

The cadence of the voice was off. The words are pronounced with the accent in the wrong spots. The title of the channel was Mystery Rehash Channel. "Rehash" was pronounce as "Rash". But the choice of the word "Rehash" is almost a non sequitur. Rehashing something is to go over it again. But this channel is supposed to be presenting fresh content. So the title is just a little bit off--which is consistent with the entire clip.

The tone was strangely enthusiastic at all times. There weren't normal pauses and normal emphasis. It was a strange monotone. Rather than flat and dull it was always enthusiastic and upbeat. People don't talk like this.

There were odd word choices that a person wouldn't make. It wasn't like narration in English from a non-native speaker. Oddly machine like. Even the title was strange.

Until this gets better I won't be consuming the content. It's like listening to music where the musicians come close to playing the piece correctly but are a half beat off and the key isn't quite right.
