YouTube is now testing out a welcome feature, a sleep timer, but it only works on mobile and desktop, and only for Premium subscribers.
So wait they implement autoplay, autoplay then ruins recommendations, and the fix is a sleep timer?
I’ve never needed this feature, but surely the sleep timer should be an OS feature? I assume Android and iOS have apps for this.
But also it it screws with recommendations, maybe improve that UI first?
This feels like a “faster horses” situation where they have no idea what to do next.

Who said this was meant to fix recommendations?
