can someone tell me why the fuck all the youtube thumb nails

Loaf · January 17, 2015, 04:14:05 PM

have this grey overlay that says watched? it makes it so hard to find what I am looking for in my playlists when they all have a grey overlay over the thumb nail. I remember when the youtube channel used to be fucking sweet. it was customizable with layout, colors, all that fucking shit. now it is homogenized and harder to use. how the fuck do I get rid of this malicious "watched" thing over my videos?

So that you know you watched it already.

googletube should have it be like a little green arrow mark or something if you watched it rather than having a stupid grey layering with the word WATCHED

Flood · January 17, 2015, 04:19:50 PM

Turn off your history on your YouTube account and it should stop doing that.

Edit: Sorry you can't really turn it off. You can only pause and clear your watch history. Yeah it's pretty stupid.

if I go into an incognito window and open the playlist it won't recognize my history. I can see the videos without the grey overlay now. btw all you people saying "It's because you watched it" I really worry about you.

I worry about your inability to detect humor.

You're literally the first person I've seen whine about such a feature.

If you are actually logged in to youtube, it'll say "watched" over videos you've watched.
If you DON'T sign in to youtube, then there won't be a "watched" thumbnail on videos. They will appear as normal.

Cum on the screen and it'll fix it
