YouTube's Recommendation Engine Undermines Intentional Viewing Habits
Users who want to consume specific YouTube content for learning or productivity are repeatedly pulled into unintended browsing through algorithmic recommendations and autoplay. YouTube's native Watch Later feature fails to enforce consumption discipline — watched videos persist, and the surrounding interface keeps injecting new recommendations. Existing RSS readers lack proper video queuing and playback capabilities, leaving no clean middle ground between full YouTube exposure and abandoning the platform entirely.

The problem matters because there is no simple, unified, low-friction home for cross-media tracking and discovery.
