I honestly don't understand this either...

Youtube knows exactly which videos I've watched and which I haven't.

Why does it think it's a good idea to ever recommend videos that I've already watched?

discuss

order

I had the same question!

On mobile YT suggested me to watch an old video from a channel I'm subscribed to. It's a good video but since I have watched it already (with my account logged it) and remember it who cares about it. This one time the interface asked me if it's a good suggestion! So I clicked the bad suggestion link, and then the app asked me to categorise why is it a bad suggestion. All the options were about the video itself. The categories were "overly sexualised", "gory", "boring" etc. There was no option to say "I have seen it already you silly". Way to set up a feedback system to get no useful information out of it.

I think there's a category or two where it makes sense:

- fitness videos

- music

- how-to & instructional videos
