Author Topic: This video is appearing in everyones youtube watch history.  (Read 1503 times)

Nobody has watched it, and its just appearing in peoples history for no reason. No audio, but it's the size of youtubes advert homepage banner. Thing is, ads dont ever appear in history. Read the comments!

Heres the vid:

Check your watch history and youll probably see it, lets think of whats going on here

all of those users have visited a website where it's an embedded auto-play with the player controls hidden.




Thanks, now I have it in my history!

it was the last thing there when i got home. the last thing i watched before going to the store was some video about science.

woo pretty crazy

edit: it's the ad on the front page of youtube, by the way

so I guess that's how it works

(if you have adblock, you probably won't have it in your history)

open link in incognito window

forget, I clicked on it before checking my history. I'm so dumb.

Nevermind, I figured it out. It's just an ad on the front page of youtube.

Didn't show up in mine. I have a feeling this was a trap to get people to click it so its in their history.

OP is illuminati
