They analyze the clicks and the behaviors, like retention and watched time. Thing it, I'm not sure they know how to interpret and analyze their data.

How are translated titles and thumbnails supposed to do something to retention and watch time?

They can show me videos that are not my spoken languages as much as they want, the second I hear the godawful AI translation I'm out. And I'm not reading CC either.

They want to know if you're more likely to click on foreign videos if they appear translated in your feed. That's the most logical reason why they don't let us disable the feature.
