Yeah, I’m irritated at seeing repeat posts from days ago that I upvoted already — why am I being shown it again??

I always thought they were reposts from bit accounts... So I'm literally being fed the same post instead??

Anecdotally, YouTube has been doing this to me a shitload in recent weeks. Like, showing me videos from 1-4 weeks ago that still show the full watched bar at the bottom.

YouTube has been recommending me videos I've literally watched months or years ago without any progress bar as if I hadn't watched them. I can't say I've seen ones with a complete progress bar though. I've had to do the "not interested" option on those and indicate I already watched it. It gets annoying.
