See my above comment above yours as I think it is linked: youtube made some clear changes to "break" the ability to follow an artist's music easily without subscribing to their paying music thingy, and because they never succeeded at properly separating music and video, it affects videos too.
It used to always properly recommend the next part of a video like the case you mention, and even recommend previous part if you arrived on part 2 without seeing part 1 etc ...

- zozbot234 4y agoAll of this is BS though. YouTube already has an easy way of annoying users who seem like they're leeching from their music service: just throw lots of unskippable ads (which sometimes happens anyway for other random reasons), or do any number of similar things. Breaking a major feature of the site is an absolute non-starter.
- Joker_vD 4y agoWell, that feature is broken (not to mention the feature discussed in the title: it was outright removed): I regularly, when watching a series of videos all titled "Series Name: Part X", get Parts 7, 8, 9, 2 and 14 as recommendations in the sidebar after watching Part 6. Amusingly, even if all those videos are actually part of an existing and properly sorted playlist, it still happens if I don't play it as a part of that playlist (that is, if I remove "&list=ZZZ&index=5" from the URL)! What a brilliant technology.
