Fuck I am BADLY addicted to Youtube

[reborn]

So installed a browser extension that tracks my internet usage a few months back and forgot about it. Today I checked my history and found that I was using Youtube about 100 hours a month which means I spend 10 whole days full time watching pointless crap on Youtube. One month I watched Youtube even for 140 hours.

And I have a full time job so you can imagine I am not doing anything other than watching Youtube. I often don't even go to work to watch Youtube. How can I end this crap? I tried blocking it but then in breaks while eating etc. I have nothing to do and I get bored.

- What can I do while eating so I don't get bored?
- How do I drastically reduce time wasted on Youtube?

How do I drastically reduce time wasted on Youtube?

Download the extension called "Unhook", it basically removes recommended videos from YouTube so you only use it to search and watch what you actually need.

I think you should do things instead of having free time. Just do something mildly productive and you'll be out of this in no time. Best of luck!

I did this. I guess I will also go look for an extension that limits daily use.

Youtube wants to control your mind and turn you into a docile soy with their search algorithm and suggestions.

i also prefer text over videos because u can skim through it and see if its worth reading before u waste ur time

You need to replace the youtube with something or you’ll have nothing to do all day

 

[Deleted member 22930]

Most likely he has a backlog of productive activities he’s procrastinating on. Do those OP
