 I'm afraid of seven. Seven eight nine!

Isn't it so that when Windows 10 was released, Windows representatives were wearing T-shirts looking like a core dump? I have seen a photo of people wearing the T-shirts. When I read 'somewhere' (i.e. I have no URL) that if you decoded it as ASCII character values, it would read 'Seven ate nine' (or possibly 'Seven eight nine' - I am not sure) - I trusted those claims, not verifying them myself.
On a related track: When WD introduced their external 'Elements' USB disks, in the 'large' cabinets - more than 5 cm thick - one of my radio amateur friends made me aware that the ventilation slots, seven rows of small squares and rectangles, was a Morse encoding of an ad message. I dug out my old 'Scouting for Boys Handbook' to refresh my Morse, and he was right! To be honest: I decoded only the very start of it (my Morse is somewhat rusty  ), trusting that the rest is 'true' Morse as well.
I bet that more than 99 of 100 buyers of the WD 'Elements' never knew that the ventilation holes holds an ad message!

I'll bet that 99 out of 100 buyers were neither boy scouts nor amateur radio enthusiasts.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Can anyone think of a good reason that YouTube does not tell you which videos you've already watched and which ones you haven't seen yet?
It must be for some nefarious reason, but I can't work it out.

Seems to me that YT would have to know who you are in order to tell you whether you've accessed something they're presenting.
Wait, is this a trick question?
I'm always trying to download .pdfs from links that are flagging rough terrain in my performance graph of ethernet send/recieve and very slow speeds as well and when this kind of behavior doesn't have any stamp like time-of-day or similar they often report internet connection on the fritz and then terminate in the browser. Often after turning in reports of file size way more than that suggested to me before I clicked on the link.
Payload of bad content perhaps? A sign that the website doesn't like me and they're throttling my conversation?
WWW: it either does or it doesn't ... stop complaining about it.

YouTube always knows who I am because my Chrome browser is usually logged into my Gmail account.

Oh, I see. This is a programming question then.
Try logging off your GMail account, shutting down your Chrome browser, fire up Edge, go to YT, find the video you're looking for and download it to a local folder. Running a file search on that vast compendium and observing the returns should pretty much eliminate the question of whether you've viewed the presentation before.

It looks like AI has been generating your responses.
My question was why they don't tell me. My question was not, how can I find out.

AENN!
Wrong answer. We were looking for the question "Ok, bigshot, how do I download YT choices to my hardrive?"

It's called YouTube Algorithm. Understanding it is more difficult than understanding my wife's / manager's mind.

Just because it's YouTube, don't mean they can't be dumb. Between the obvious censorship, removing the thumbs down button as soon as we know which videos got disliked... they're too busy trying to control our minds to bother with actual usability.
Oh and a down vote doesn't prove me wrong.

Interestingly, there is an extension for Firefox which returns the dislike view count. I'm not sure I trust its accuracy after finding out that the 'Windows 11 Inside story' video only has 75 downvotes, but it is available.

It does, doesn't it? Or at least for me it does - it shows a red bar below the video which indicates how far through it you are: A full bar indicates you watched to the end, and empty one that you haven't started it.
Admittedly, that's only when you open / refresh the page, but ...
