[Answered ]-Django Paginate_by not displaying proper pagination

The reason this happens is because you filter in the template, so after the queryset is paginated. Filtering in the template is not a good idea, for example because it will render the pagination incorrect, but it is also inefficent.

You should filter in the view, with:

class VideoListView(generic.ListView):
    model = Video
    queryset = Video.objects.filter(home=True).order_by('-date')
    template_name = 'index.html'
    context_object_name = 'video_list'
    paginate_by = 10
    
    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['category_list'] = Category.objects.all()
        return context

and thus remove the {% if video.home == True %} … {% endif %} part.
