Describe the solution you'd like
Often times, I find that the recommended videos by Youtube for the next video to Autoplay are completely random and unrelated to any of the content that I watch. For this reason, I'd like a feature that only autoplays the next video if it comes from a channel that I'm subscribed to, or one that is from the same channel whose video I had just watched.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've also noticed that this issue of recommended videos being completely unrelated generally only seems to be an issue for me with the very next video in the recommended list. Often times, the second video and below are all perfectly relevant to content I watch. For this reason, it may be enough simply to autoplay not the next recommended video, but the second recommended video.

Additional context
Youtube's recommendations are driven by advertisers as well as the content you watch, so in many cases, it's likely you'll be pushed videos that aren't related to anything you watch. For this reason alone, a feature like this could be worth having. As I've read on Reddit as well, though, people seem to dislike this happening when they play Youtube to fall asleep to. Generally, Youtube will pick a completely unrelated video to recommend, then go down a rabbit hole of other similar content to what it recommended you, and since you'd be asleep and can't stop the videos from playing, this in turn causes Youtube to only further recommend you unrelated content.
