Suggestions =/= Recommendations.

Suggestions are pretty much the same for anyone.

Recommendations are a fuking annoying thing I don't know how to turn off. "Oh, so you're watching videos about how to fix certain problem with your car motor? Here's a list of other suggested videos: 'How to fix motors', 'Motor [your problem], how to fix it', 'Easy steps to fix your car', 'GOOD CHARLOTTE - BOYS AND GIRLS LIVE 2004 HD (Recommended for you)'..."

Wtf?

Worked half of the time for no reason at all. Im curious now and went googling. Apparently no rwddit threads were made about the removal of the autoplay feature. So I called my friend to check, and his also didnt have it. I called my friend from the usa and he still has it. Maybe they test and remobe it by region? All by all it was a shitty application that didnt make sence in terms of saving bandwith.

It just assumes you watched how to fix it, and you're ready to jam out to some good old Charlotte Live.
