I swear youtube is messing with me, I get videos sometimes that I don't have liked but i swear I've seen before

    It's common for channels to repost old videos so YouTube promotes them as new again. Often with tweaked title and thumbnail to try for more click rates the second time, but sometimes it's just reposting something old enough that due to user turnover it will be new to many of the people it's promoted to.

    Also, it's common for channels to steal content from other channels, to slap together with minimal editing what the original creator took weeks to research and design presentation for.

    The thing is sometimes they're 8 years old videos or sometimes music I know I have listened to before. For music I'd guess that there are new videos because of labels, mv and whatnot, but I have no explanation for the really old videos
