YouTube told me that I could turn off auto-dubbing on my channel !
As it turns out :
- You have to know that the exact same "Setting" button takes you to a different menu depending on which of your channel page you are. 😾
- The announced toggle to turn all auto-dubbing off doesn't exist. 😿

As I feed our Flipboard, I inject an older article as every third entry. So everything will eventually be there, but in an organic way.

BREAKING: Now getting a trickle of water.
The ability to shower or wash clothes remains but a seductive dream.
Still, this means gaining such powers as refilling the toilet's flushing tank. This is very powerful.
