Description
⚬ PROBLEM: YouTube keeps showing videos that I have in my watch later list on sidebar, which I know, I added them myself, you don't need to convince me multiple times to watch them, I already planned it.
⚬ SOLUTION: Would be really nice if you could hide the videos I have in my watch list from sidebar.
⚬ ALTERNATIVES: Stop using watch later list and create a custom list, not confirmed, but I read on internet that YouTube keeps suggesting you videos from your watch later list, so as a way to avoid this behavior - just stop using it.
⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE: ~10%
