Why does YouTube unpause playback?

Question

YouTube

The essence of the problem: I watch a video, I don’t have time to watch it, I pause it and go to bed ... and at night, at an arbitrary time, I will have the sound of this video, which was removed from the pause. For example, today youtube woke me up at 03:55. I wake up not for the first time, I didn’t pay attention for a while before ...
How can I get rid of such behavior? Turning down the speakers is not an option, because. the video will end and I will lose the time I watched; close the tab - I might forget to watch :)

Answer 1

Click on "look later" and turn off the computer.
The next day, open https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=WL and click on your video. And Youtube starts to lose from the min:sec from which it stopped.
And if you forgot about the video the next day, then this video was not important.

Answer 3

loading comments with reloading the page at some wild interval?
browser auto-update with restart?
the cat runs across the table and clicks on the mouse ))
the solution is to put a userscript to disable autoplay.
and even easier - to mute all sounds, because you don't care.
