There is a good way to cut down your youtube consumption. Just install the extension:
Unhook - Remove YouTube Recommended Videos
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/unhook-remove-youtube-rec/khncfooichmfjbepaaaebmommgaepoid
So next time you open Youtube, you just see a blank page with the search bar. No recommandation = no time wasted

This is basically me too. Really addicted to YouTube but it depends how I'm feeling on the day. I've been trying to push myself to create more rather than consume.

I blocked tmitter to force myself to use nostr more
It works, however people keep sending me twitter links and I have to temporarily unblock twitter to catch up :/

Just go to the link on nitter.net.

No. I am addicted, and now I am in control of twitter. Opening up to using nitter would be to simply add another drug.
reply
I don't have a twitter account, but often come across links I want to see. So I wrote a little macro that converts the link to a nitter one. (Long before SN had a bot doing it. And mine works on any site, anyway.)
Same with Youtube: automatically converted to an invidious link. This one doesn't always work, though. :(
Edit: I should probably look for a browser plugin that can do the above, coming to think of it.

Yeah, it's still early for Nostr. I still have to use Twitter for world news, it has flaws but atleast it's not TV / Mainstream media
reply
For me it helps to lessen my addiction to social media as well. My own nostr "algorithm" don't lure me astray into other topics.
But yep, still very early.
