If I play a YouTube video for ~3 seconds and leave, it becomes marked as completely watched, with the red line extending all the way under the thumbnail. It’s been like this forever.
Does anyone know if this is a bug, or intentional? It’s frustrating to me.

@mwichary@mastodon.online I get the opposite problem (mostly in MacOS Safari): a video I have watched to the end appears with a red bar that spans about 3/4 of it. Not really a problem for me, but it is odd.
