Why does it take so many steps to tell Youtube "I've already watched this" ? (youtu.be)

I have soooo many videos that I've already watched.

5 clicks in a context menu is wayyyyyy to much

It should be one click.

And "I've already watched this"

Doesn't meant I don't want to see that youtuber any less of course.

It's that specific video, because I'VE ALREADY WATCHED IT !

Aside from Google product managers being the most asinine creatures on the planet, most streaming services lack a simple "mark as watched" feature. It is annoying.

I've also already watched Technology Connections ☺️

Yes it was very good, I have the kind of switch he describes and my stove has an issue with it (over temp at low setting) Now I know intimately why !

Because it's a rarely used feature and they don't want it on the primary menu.

Blocking channels is stupidly difficult too these days.

Are you sure ? That one seems to be two clicks only

That marks the channel, not the video. Marking a video as watched isn't so easy.

They would rather you try again.
