Fweethawt Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 So I wake up today to find that all of my YouTube watch history, watch later list and all subscriptions have been wiped from my account as if they never existed. And now my home screen is cluttered with a bunch of random shit that I'm not even interested in! WTF, YouTube? WT fucking fuck?!?! Anyone else ever have this happen to them?

older Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Hm. Any possibility your account has been hacked? I'd change the password right away and also on any other account that uses the same password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you have to sign back in? That happened to me a little while ago. It was the same. All this random shit came up and I was like, WTF? Then saw I wasn't signed in automatically.

It was the same. All this random shit came up and I was like, WTF? Then saw I wasn't signed in automatically. I have two different YouTube accounts. Before I fell asleep today i plugged in my ear buds and, within YouTube, I hit play on an 8 hr. binaural beats video to help me sleep. When I woke up (early), I was signed out of the account I use frequently and somehow signed in to the account I rarely use. Then, when I signed back in to my usual account, it was as if it was new. No watched history, subscriptions or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a database glitch. You might be able to contact support and they may be able to restore an older backup of your account if they have one. It may not be entirely up to date but it may be better than nothing. This all depends on how their backend works but it's worth a shot. mwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToHellWithMe Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Sounds like either connection/db issues on the server-side (will fix themselves, usually within hours) or that you've switched to your google account instead of your youtube account (I think you automatically have both). You can check for the latter by clicking your profile pic and choosing "Switch account". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No watched history, subscriptions or anything. Now that is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fweethawt Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 So here it is a day or so later and I decided to log out and log back in. Everything's back to where it was before this ship bomb started. Again I ask; WTF, YouTube?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
