Its only because they’re bleeding money with sleeping views right now…

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.

Fuck you Google. I buy your premium pro phones and watches (that you barely improve) and you want me to pay for basic features like PiP or the sleep timer?

Don’t be surprised that I use smartube, pipepipe, newpipe and others instead.

There’s an Android app called “SleepTimer” that works with basically any app

I didn’t know anybody still used the official Youtube client. Or cared about it.
