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.
Am I dumb or is YouTube just stupid?
Yes, YouTube is absolute shit without extensions.
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.
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.
Ublock origin with the shorts/extras/games/bullshit filters.
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.
Youtube has been an innovator in enshitification since before that term existed.

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?
Both can be true.
Probably is…
It’s getting bad. Almost unwatchable now. Google is screwed.
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.
You got to go into history and remove it. Its annoying but it works well.
Also keep in mind that hovering over a video and watching more than a few seconds adds it to your history and thus yt suggestions
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.
I think pausing your watch history will accomplish this, but then of course your watch history will be paused.
Corporate enshittification for 16 years will do that
unfortunately you’re not
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
