Description

Feature request good first issue help wanted up-for-grabs

PROBLEM:
Being subscribed to a lot of channels (with the bell on), my notification feed is constantly full. If I stay off YouTube for a while and then come back, it becomes difficult to track which videos I had watched, and which I haven't yet.

SOLUTION:
Add an toggle to mark or hide already watched videos in the notification feed.

ALTERNATIVES:
None ?

RELEVANCE / SCOPE:
Good for everyone who relies on YouTube's notification feed; A majority.

"SIDE EFFECTS":
IMO it should be added in a dedicated submenu for the notification feed.

CONTEXT:
None.
