What a strange thing to automatically (I assume) add to the end of these blogposts: > Sean Watson, Software Engineer, recently watched "GoPro: Fire Vortex Cannon with the Backyard Scientist." > Jon Levine, Product Manager, recently watched "Sega Saturn CD - Cracked after 20 years."

At least they didn't watch anything embarassing. My Youtube recommendations page is a dumpster fire.

      Indeed, I had FUKKIRETA X 9 on my Watch it Again. I did.

  Clearing YT history often helps. I'd vastly prefer channel blocks.

I highly doubt that is automatically linking videos. Click the Sega one, it's linked to a specific spot in the video.

Not automatically included :) I came across the Sega Saturn video a couple weeks ago from this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12074096 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12074096

  Ah interesting. So is this just something you guys do for fun at the end of your posts? Great example of dogfooding, especially coming from the big guys :)
