Another bad thing about the fading menu is that it seems to get treated the same as if you affirmatively decided to watch it.

It shows up in "continue watching" and I believe probably stuff like "because you watched A..." (...here are B, C, D, and E).

Which is just silly because even if they want to steer me into watching it because I'm too lazy to tell them to stop, that doesn't mean it makes meaningful data for recommendations. They can tell whether I pushed a button or not, but which seems like a pretty meaningful signal to ignore.
