Turns out, even before you click on "OK" to start watching, it's doing it in the background - my watch history is now full of hours of this junk :(
You can click X on them and quickly remove them. If there's truly way too many (you left it open for hours), you can go to your Google's Activity page, filter youtube and delete everything from today with a button.

Good idea to do a full reset periodically anyways to reset your recommendations.

Some like me actually appreciate the youtube recomendations based on the previously watched content, but need to be extra careful when watching some kind of content that is likely to be weighted a lot by "power users". Example, I do not follow videogames, but I do enjoy watching speedruns of old games ocassionally, so I need to watch it on incognito mode so I won't have my recommendations flooded with videogame video…
Essentially with all that data, YouTube still hold a bad recommendation engine.
I find that it's pretty good.

#76"Go" button is missing on Chrome and Brave, background video doesn't work on Brave. Cool website though, I could watch this for hours.

#77I love the perspective this gives you. You watch for a few minutes and remember how many things are going on outside of your own little world.

Will that pause recommendations and everything else with the already weak algo?
they probably log a 'shadow view' but recommendations seem to be directly based on your watch history since your recommendations are lost when you completely clear it.
That is a bit odd because I have had watch history off for years, but I still get recommendations that make sense.
