Or could it make sense to delete this at some point, for example, because it stops to be relevant? The thought came while watching an old Youtube video, which I already watched some years ago, and it was no longer marked as watched. I was irritated at first until I realized that I’d switched accounts in-between, and I’ve never watched it with my new account so far.
