@@mr.potatohead6138 My comment is straight forward. I find the commentator's accent and intonation annoying. I still like the content so I'm glad I could use the transcript.
@@AmazingLivestockBreeds I like your video's content but I don't like the narrator's voice. I've heard it a lot with totally different videos and it seems to me to be a bit effete for my tastes. Effete definition: ef·fete /əˈfēt/ adjective affected and overly refined.
