That said, I really do like the concept. It's literal reality TV. Very cool.

- mikegreen 10y agoI had to disable uorigin adblock and use incognito.
- 464192002d7fe1c 10y agoAh, you're right. Privacy Badger (which I love for exactly this reason) was breaking it.

- mistermann 10y agoYa I wish it would leave a trail on the side of the videos you've gone through.
- poc_champ 10y agoCheck out youtube history :D
- Mithaldu 10y agoThe youtube embed normally has all of that by default. They explicitly prohibit the user from accessing any of those.
- hacker_9 10y agoDoes it matter they appear in your history?
- lawrencegs 10y agoKind of. It matters for me because it will ruin my video recommendation list.
- notgood 10y agoYou can delete those from your history, somewhere in profile settings.
- wonga 10y ago(creator here) thanks for the heads up! i had disabled my youtube history completely and didn't notice this...
- supergreg 10y agoSounds like a feature. Would polluting my history help prevent YouTube from recommending me the same stuff over and over?
- krmboya 10y agoI find myself doing this on Youtube when I watch certain videos, to avoid having similar videos as recommendations. I suppose the feature was supposed to help one discover videos they could be interested in, but I now actively avoid watching a number of them with a logged-in session.
