Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, the way the extension works effectively punishes creators that mirror to Odysee as YouTube most likely sees those videos as an instant-exit from the platform. This would over time lead those creators to be less frequently recommend to odysee users and on YouTube in general, which is certainly not helping LBRY adoption. I personally therefore always use the workflow described below. It would be amazing if the extension would have an option to automatically do this for the user on clicking:

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. Add Setting "mark redirected videos as watched on YouTube"
  2. Extension automatically triggers the necessary API calls for the workflow below:

Hi there. The main goal of this plugin is to auto discover content that is also synced to LBRY network. If user disable redirections it should add button next to subscribe that allow you to manually go to LBRY without closing YT video. Not sure where the problem is.

@kodxana i think he is talking about on redirect mode, not button mode. when we directly redirect to the odysee, it effects the yt algorithm as bad for the creator.

@FlorianWendelborn your solution sounds good im gonna try apply it when possible

DeepDoge commented 2 years ago

Based on how YT handles "Already watched" feedback, i dont think we can apply this for direct links to the video. But we can apply still this method when i user clicks on a video in the site i believe. So can be done probably but later because we need to change how we redirect for this to work.
