In your watched video history the videos are loaded by javascript. As you scroll down a set amount of video loads using javascript. After so many videos load there is a javascript button appears at the bottom to load more videos, the button isn't a link and don't function like one. This makes it so if you wanted to go to the very beginning of your watched videos you would have to go through every single video you ever watched. If you have watched a ton of videos it is impractical, time consuming and nigh impossible to go through every video. If you decide to take the time one misclick can ruin everything and send you back to the start. The only solution I have atm is using a macro to scroll and click the javascript button but as I said that will also cause memory usage to skyrocket after loading so many videos causing the browser/page to slow to a crawl. Other parts of Youtube with the most recent layout use this awful javascript.
No way to use anchors to navigate or hold places, no way to skip videos in history or skip to the end and navigate to different pages of my history. Just endless scrolling through every video I've ever watched until a find the specific video(s) I was looking for which might take a long time providing nothing screws up if they are near the end of my history.

Have you even used youtube recently and tried navigating your watched video history? It's impossible with the latest layout and the videos load with javascript, links have nothing to do with it. There is no page numbers or anchors, there simply isn't anything to link to and is just endlessly scrolling through every video hoping to eventually reach the video(s) I was looking for. The button to load more videos isn't even a link, it's more javascript crap and disabling javascript at the browser level just results in it becoming completely useless, there is no fallback. I am not referring to Youtube as a whole, I am referring to my Youtube history containing every video I've ever watched up to 10,000 videos, that portion of Youtube contains that horrible endless scrolling javascript like Facebook does which also breaks when disabling javascript.
They sure look like links, and act like links.
You can hold enter to constantly load more. I don't know of any better solution 03-23-2014, 01:09 PM

Yes the button looks like an image but the underlying code is not normal html, it's dynamic javascript/ajax. Unlike regular links/buttoms you can't right click and make it open in a new tab and you can't copy the url/link. Witsh there was some kind of script to fix this but being there is no page to anchor or link to it's likely impossible with the only real solution being a macro to autoclick while afk.

The problem lies if you have a lot of videos in your history and want to find a particular video or videos you watched a while back but since have watched many more videos. There is no way to skip pages to easily locate the desired video(s) quicker, the page dynamically loads more videos as you scroll down and only so many videos are loaded before you have to click a javascript button to load more. I don't know how much clearer I can explain this other than proposing you try finding a way to easily navigate to an old video long since buried in your history. There are no page links to jump ahead to older videos and no way to skip to the very begining (end) of your history, just endless scrolling and loading of videos as you scroll down via annoying javascript/ajax. Surprised no one else here except ExtremeDude2 knows what I'm referring to and I've explained it clearly enough it should be quite obvious, maybe I need to make a Youtube video lol. :/ 03-23-2014, 05:11 PM
Forever scrolling web design needs to die. It SUCKS. Without some way to sort or constrain what you are looking at infinite scrolling just becomes an unmanageable mass of items. Of course this all stems from the fact that the old pagination method didn't have proper sorting measures either, but at least by being paginated it created a form of sorting. Say you have 180 pages of history items sorted by date visited, you know that if it was a couple of years ago, and you've been in the site for four years, it would be somewhere in the middle, and you can just jump to a page in the middle. Infinite scroll doesn't even have that. It's just infinite information. Yuck.
And do you have any idea how poor connections handle that kind of thing? Slow loading lots of things unending means that it never stops loading, and then when new stuff appears to load the website times out and freaks out. Who on earth thought infinite scrolling was a good idea?
