PSA: Watch in an private/incognito tab/window. If you are currently logged into your google account, this WILL pollute your watched history: https://www.youtube.com/feed/history

That said, I really do like the concept. It's literal reality TV. Very cool.

Oddly the videos don't end up there for me. Which is somewhat disappointing because I would like to share some of them with others.

This tool needs a "link to video" or "share video" button.

I had to disable uorigin adblock and use incognito.

Ah, you're right. Privacy Badger (which I love for exactly this reason) was breaking it.

Ya I wish it would leave a trail on the side of the videos you've gone through.

Does it matter they appear in your history?

Kind of. It matters for me because it will ruin my video recommendation list.

You can delete those from your history, somewhere in profile settings.

Sounds like a feature. Would polluting my history help prevent YouTube from recommending me the same stuff over and over?

I find myself doing this on Youtube when I watch certain videos, to avoid having similar videos as recommendations.

I suppose the feature was supposed to help one discover videos they could be interested in, but I now actively avoid watching a number of them with a logged-in session.

The youtube embed normally has all of that by default. They explicitly prohibit the user from accessing any of those.
