What is this?

Why has YouTube put a "Watch it again section" on their front page? Why would I want to watch a video again a day after I watched it? What purpose does promoting videos you've already watched have? If I want to watch something again I'll go to my history and find it.

I really wish they would sort the layout. It's still stupidly difficult to find new channels without doing a ton of hunting around and it doesn't make good use of the space either. If there was a "latest videos" section, a "new channels" section or a "new videos in (games/technology)" section, that would make things a lot easier.

 

Also, ignore the Caramelldansen video... I only watched it one time. Honest.

 

Don't judge

I have watch history disabled but it still lists really old videos from my subscriptions for me to watch.

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

Beyonce ?! every man to his own taste   :P

I may or may not have seen her live three times in the space of 10 months  :ph34r:

 

I think she's a great performer. I like her music too - I was brought up listening to a lot of R&B/pop. And I'm not gonna lie, I fancy the pants off her too :P

It's stupid. Those videos haven't changed since the section appeared about 4 days ago. I don't know what it wants...

My videos still haven't changed, they've just reordered themselves so Caramelldansen is now at the front (on the left)...  :huh:

Well, if you already watched it, it will be in your watch history, not there!
