youtube should make this as their built in feature

This extension is absolutely wonderful, it was exactly what I was looking for after an entire day of tirelessly looking for a way to convert my other app playlist of over a thousand YouTube links into a playlist! This works perfectly for me, and for those who didn't know, you can turn the unlisted playlists into your own by: 1. Scrolling down a little to see the recommended videos on the righthand side. 2. Putting your mouse over one of them, and clicking the "Add to Queue" button. 3. Scrolling back up and clicking the newly made "Add queue to playlist" button. Once done, you get your playlist properly converted! This was very helpful after finding my only other option was to add the links one by one. Thank you very much!
