Am I dumb or does YouTube suck?
-
I want to make a playlist with some livesets, these are usually an hour. I have added these into a playlist and I cannot for the life of me stop YouTube from continuing halfway where I once stopped some of them.
Starting from the beginning and letting it play for 10 seconds, pressing on the timeline at the start a few times. Nothing works.
At this point disabling the option of automatic saving / continuing is fine but I can't find and options whatsoever.

I noticed years ago that youtube search give up after like 10 results and then just spits up the generic algorithm recommendations.

unfortunately you're not

Can I ask what you recommend? I just have the standard add block and sponsor block running which definitely helps but the user experience could definitely be better.
Sponsorblock. Shorts blocker. UBlock Origin. Multiple Container tabs and stick it in its own container.

Youtube has been intentionally made worse year over year for the last 12-15 years. Nobody knows exactly why. But it has been.
This is the behaviour of a monopoly. There is no better alternative so people stick with it and Google knows it. Why improve when you have no competition?

it skips to somewhere in the middle because it thinks you're more likely to stay on the video if it starts there

Enhancer for YouTube is the best. Next get YouTube Search Fixer so your searches only show search results instead of previously viewed, For You, and all the other garbage that you have to sift through. Shorts Block is also nice, but I think enhancer also does this.
thats a new one, i usually just use ublock origin.

Youtube has been an innovator in enshitification since before that term existed.
wrote last edited by [email protected]ADS, thats why they laid of moderating questionable content as well. couldnt get enough revenue on youtube side, so they have to enshitify thier android side too.

If you have an Android phone, use ReVanced to patch the YouTube app.
If you have an Android TV, use SmartTube.

I also use UBO, but just listed my YouTube specific addons.

There was always the joke about watching one video and your feed being filled with that type of video, but it’s genuinely that bad now. And if you dare to watch a second one you’re done for.
I'll watch one video of someone I like. Randomly another video starts playing right after, before I have a chance to click away, my feed degenerates into some crazy slop.

When I watch YouTube, which isn't often, I use Firefox on Android instead of the app. Ublock seems to kill all the ads, still

Corporate enshittification for 16 years will do that

Yes, but ReVanced also skips sponsorships embedded in videos. You can also do that on Firefox by installing SponsorBlock.

Haven't tried the YouTube app for years, but watch the content all the time - using newpipe/pipepipe and freetube/Kodi. I usually just "subscribe" to a few channels and stick to those
