Totally agree. The lack of configurability around recommendations is really frustrating. So often, the next video that plays is something tangentially related to what I'm watching, but still not what I want to watch.

I'd love a feature that defaults the next video to the newest unwatched video in a given channel or something like that, but we all know why it won't be built.

Mine are always things I've already watched, and YouTube knows it. I suspect I have somehow crashed their 'AI' recommendation engine.

People don't immediately disable next video autoplay?!?

He didn't say anything was auto played. Just the next recommended video. YouTube always highlights one, it's at the top of the list

I don’t see anything preventing this from being built externally other than API usage restrictions. Ways to get around those, too.
