  >> Don't you re-watch your favourite movies and TV shows? Why would YouTube be any different? I honestly don't very often, and when I do it tends to be over a span of time long enough to forget many of the details. I do have some music videos on youtube that I have watched several times, and some instructional videos I have returned to occasionally. So yeah probably its the weakest of my three whines.

  > Genuine question: Don't you re-watch your favourite movies and TV shows? Why would YouTube be any different? Very rarely. Even more rarely do I re-watch movies less than a month later, but that doesn't stop Youtube from recommending things I watched the day prior. If I got recommended something I watched a year ago, sure. But what youtube frequently does is just recommend all of the videos I watched the day prior. I would be less annoyed if this wasn't such a recent development. Youtube recommendations used to be fantastic for me ~5 years ago. I would actually get recommended stuff I haven't watched, from creators I didn't know about, on topics that I have shown interest in. Now I mostly just get the same videos I have already watched or nearly the same video uploaded by another channel. Or I'll watch a single 15 second video about something I normally don't watch, and suddenly half of my recommendations are about that.
