      Next step is guaranteed to be limiting the number of views without being logged in.

      I know it’s a pain, but what’s to stop us from using download-clis? In theory I could “collect” the urls that are recommended to me from my home page, call the clis, click all the videos to update my recommendations then close the browser.

        using the browser isn’t necessary to keep your watch history up to date.

        yt-dlp can log in as you by reading your cookies from your browser, and, with the optional --mark-watched flag, mark your downloaded videos as watched in your YT account.

          TIL. Thank you very much. Looks like I’m going to be using that if YouTube gets even more painful.

      The no competition in the market, is the issue. Hope the situation improves in near future. With it innovations will gradually increase & the demand within the markets will point the directions.

      Thank you for reminding me to get myself an invidious instance set up. It isn’t a huge pain or anything, right?
