This is one of the longest running problems without a solution i have ever had (it caused me to seek out alternative clients in the first place)
Anyway, heres the deal: Youtube doesnt seem to remember my history on any video, heres the things i tried: check of history is in (it is)
ad these to ublock origin .video-stats.l.google.com .s.youtube.com
disable ublock origin
try a different browser ( fresh firefox and two different chromium ones)
disable tampermonkey

And today i looked at my history again, and the weirdets thing is it does remember the position and when i open the video from googles watch history, it works, i opened a video normally after that and it worked too

Anyone with any idea what is going on here would be greatly appreciated

Right? When any service offers to 'store your data' or 'remember your history' it's cause for concern.
