> My opinion about the recent activities box is that it has so much
> unneeded repetitive info... for example:

> For every activity it begins CHANNELNAME has uploaded...
> channelname has favorited:
> channelname has rated:
> etc.

> Way too much information NOBODY actually needs. I am already on that
> channel, why do i need the name over and over again?

> Second, the beauty of having a 'recently rated' box is it gave viewers

> ratings were nice when they were separated, a person could choose both

> Lastly, in general - the changes made - including  videos and
