German subs were really big on Reddit, too.
Germany is the second largest country in Europe by population, they don't really have their own social media like e.g. Russia or China and they're much better at English than most other big countries that are not already English native speakers.
It's been a while since you've been in a video conference with Germans speaking English, hasn't it? /j
EDIT: line break
My pronounciation is awful, too, but that doesn't matter on lemmy!
And I'm still convinced that an English-language video conference with Germans is usually going to be better than with French people.
Fair, the French will just curse at you in French and look angry.
Then they set their desk on fire and go on strike for the rest of the day.
Considering the types of professions who usually have video conferences, that's probably a net positive for society anyway.
