Statistically, yeah.
Because the most watched youtube videos are music videos, and people listen to the same music regularly.
Also because some videos have been popular enough that people wanted to show that to their friends, and regular users don't know how to use the history, so they want to find it in their home page again.
I assume the algo just doesn't know the difference between videos that are rewatchable and ones that are not, and does that on some statistical metrics that don't make sense in a lot of contexts.
When you think something is stupid, the answer is usually there is something we don't know about it.

- rmak 4y agomaybe they need a "watch again" tab?
- RALaBarge 4y agoThere does exist a History section that offers just that.
- anticensor 4y agoYouTube truncates the History to last 2000 items, however. I need to be able to see my full, uncut history for audit and word-of-mouth purposes.
- eimrine 4y agoI'm sure that many of old videos has been removed. And the more I use the Internets the more I consider to save as much of stuff as possible (webpages, videos, everything) maybe on another machine with a really giant disk.
- maximus-decimus 4y agoIt's all because of me. I've been watching the same music videos for the last 15 years. Sorry guys.
