Youtube desperately needs a holistic redesign of history and watch position. Watch position needs to be instantly synchronized down to the frame across devices, and it needs to be able to save more than one watch position per video for you to manually select in ambiguous cases (like if you watched offline and online on different devices). It should also show the difference between a video you stopped after one second and a video you watched completely but rewound to the beginning. The seek bar should show which parts you've watched regardless of your current watch position.
The "Watch Later" feature also needs a lot of love. The button for it constantly moves around and works in different ways.
They do occasionally fix things! One thing they fixed recently is that advancing to the next video in a playlist would always start from the beginning, irreversibly clobbering your watch position for that video. Now it seems to (most of the time) start from your watch position.
