mephone real (ID: 000000f8673150fd) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/17/2023 um idk when this was last updated bc it doesn't work at all, it still shows all my watched videos

Dvasa Vertik (ID: 000000330ec2f7cc) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/15/2023 Sort of works as in it's hiding the videos you've watched before but still leaves an empty space where the videos originally appeared. So it doesn't remove them from the window at all to replace them with fresh content I haven't seen yet, it's only a cosmetic fix.
