Now that I express it, it feels kind of obvious; anything with a small enough subculture will start speaking English for it. specifically I’ve really stopped watching german minecraft videos, and am only in English-Speaking Discord servers, and maybe this is only so non-obvious to .e because Germany is relatively big. I’ve heard smaller countries don’t even have literally every TV programme dubbed in the local language.

    I’m Dutch and fortunately they don’t dub TV programs here. Although they started doing that with some kids shows since few years which is IMO a terrible decision.

    Personally I hate it when content is non-English even though it’s not my first language. I’d rather be able to follow without subtitles and Dutch content is very cringeworthy, so bad.

    Drei Fragezeichen are very niche in a global context, I don’t see the fandom speaking English.

    International subcultures will obviously default to English, regardless of size, simply because English is the global lingua franca (unless there is very good reason to pick a different language).

    once you start watching movies with original sound, you never want to go back to dubbed. i can not even stand listening to something in the next room, because you hear so much that it’s recorded in a studio and not on the set.

    i had the same journey as you on yt. I used to like a German YouTuber, bit they changed at some point in a direction im Not a fan of and i moved to English speaking ones. this is not even because of the language itself, simply because otherwise i have not find somebody i like
