Youtube will also put videos in your feed that you can't watch because they don't exist yet. And you can't hide the nonexistent video because doing so will hide the video when it eventually does exist.

If you think things couldn't possibly get any worse, you clearly don't work for google.

Don't some creators exploit that because views count differently on premieres

You mean the notifications of live streams?

They notify normal videos sometimes.

God I hate that.

You go to click on it and it just says "coming soon!", but when it does come out, it is already buried in my subscriptions so I forget it was released.

Missed plenty of Death Battles because of this
