This may surprise you, but if I like a video I'll watch it a few dozen times. I say this might surprise you since it certainly surprises my friends who make this complaint.

The accommodations the algorithms make for people like me is probably making it worse for people like you.

Do you still get the same enjoyment out of a video 10 times on, serious question?

I'm the kind of person that can never watch a film twice within the same year (normally longer), same with series

The same enjoyment? No, of course not.

More enjoyment than anything else I can think to watch? All the time.

Funnily, for feature length films I can only watch them once every few years as well.
