UPDATED 22.11.2022
It's been two years since the last update, so here's the updated working script as per the comments below.
Thanks to BryanHaley for this.
setInterval(function () {
video = document.getElementsByTagName('ytd-playlist-video-renderer')[0];
video.querySelector('#primary button[aria-label="Action menu"]').click();
var things = document.evaluate(
'//span[contains(text(),"Remove from")]',
document,
null,
XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
null
);
for (var i = 0; i < things.snapshotLength; i++)
{
things.snapshotItem(i).click();
}
}, 500);
Non-english users will need to change "Action menu" and "Remove from" to what YouTube uses for their localization.
They somehow managed to break this thing again.
They seemed rolling back years of everything you'd already watched and then shoved it all back in.
My home is full of videos from the WL list like 80% of them.
Even after using the [remove watched] there are still over 1000 videos in the list.
And still tons of videos that I'm pretty sure I've already watched.
