This infuriates me. I know the video exists, that’s why it’s on my watch later.

It’s like adding an item to your cart, and then having an ad for it at the top of every search result.

Another thing I hate is if you watch a video from a playlist (or the “podcasts” tab on a channel), and go into your watch history to continue the video, you can’t. It just shows a link to the entire playlist

I on the other hand wish it would do that more often.

When I open YouTube I’m always distracted by the recommendations on the initial screen, and then I never get around to the Watch Later list. So it’s nice when Watch Later videos show up on the initial screen.

I wish I could tell it to consistently show me one or two Watch Later videos on the initial screen rather than doing so seemingly at random.

I would be 100% A-OK with that if it had its own section. Like there's a "News" section if I scroll down a few rows. Put "You wanted to watch these later" down there as well. Absolutely do not put them in suggestions though.

You can also bookmark and go straight to your Watch Later playlist instead of the homepage.
