I'm guilty of this. I'll queue up long music mix or ambient videos and just leave them going.
I meant something like opening a two hour long podcast and only listening to 30-60 minutes before closing the tab or switching to a different video. With the old functionality and current internet speeds, it likely would have buffered the entire video in only a few minutes. It could have wasted multiple GB of bandwidth.
I'll open dozens of 15-45min videos, watch a few to completion, close the rest after watching a tiny bit or nothing at all.
You should add them to a Playlist to save them for later
you're not gonna believe this
so I used to make a new set in the bookmarks folder, then I pull all the current tabs into the new set, then I never watched it ever again
there are probably ~400 links in that YouTube Sets folder
Tf thats kind of autistic I used to have a similar problem but I try to keep the list down to like 10-20 cuz be honest if you were truly interested in all 400 of those videos you'd be watching them anyways.
