That recommendation issue you point out is extremely annoying since YouTube has no way to reverse the order of videos in a playlist. More often than not for some reason Let's Play and other chronological video authors create their playlists in a reverse chronological order, latest first so it's basically impossible to binge them unless you manually click on the next episode yourself.

I make mine in chronological order!
It's actually just a playlist setting for the creator but the default is reverse and that makes the whole list useless. You even have chrome and firefox plugins to fix it.
I also link the playlist in each youtube description but unfortunately they are not so easy to spot on app/tv/game consoles.
Also, in this case I think it's OK to youtube-dl the list and play them in order locally.

It's eternally appreciated when creators consider doing that!
Unfortunately I use Safari so it's not an option for me, sadly one of the very few downsides to using Safari is relatively weak extension support.
