    Finally! That's the correct answer.

    In general though, I would recommend people
    to gradually lessen their reliance on this service nowadays;
    because of its addiction engineering [1] and its now-brutal
    advertising drive [2].

    Even that I already use third-party front end [3] for browsing
    and a downloader for viewing, I have resort to forcing myself
    to type up all the entire visitation tree [4], to stop myself
    from spiraling into an endless vidwalking spree. [5]

    Cheers,

    nearly all of my vidwalking history from 2014 to today.
