How about you test marking videos as watched across devices so I don’t have the same shit pushed back at me all the time.
HOW ABOUT YOU STOP SHOWING ME ALREADY WATCHED VIDEOS IN GENERAL?! Why fill my home feed with shit I've seen already? I literally have to click (...), click (not interested), click (why?), click (I've already seen the video) FOR EVER SINGLE VIDEO I EVER WATCHED ON YT.
Are you using a Pi Hole or any tool that blocks ads though the DNS?
Interesting thought, might have to dig into that. Hadn't considered it messing with play history.
Add this in your exemptions and test it.
I am using a pihole and I still have this problem. I'm logged in. I'm seeing videos I watched last week or two months ago. Or yesterday. They are being resuggested and do not show as watched if I go to that channel's page. It's infuriating.
Do you have this in your exemptions?
Yes. Additionally, videos I watch at work do the same thing without the pihole.
How about shutting your mouth and consuming what we show you. No one's asking if you've seen it already. Watch the ads!
