Wow Yewtu.be search is crazy good, I was searching for some javascript tutorials and the results are so much better than standard YT SERPs recommending me all sorts of nonsense

I admit i've had my YouTube addition, after shutting down my other socials but they usually come in waves, like if I have a topic I want to learn alot about, I just fall down that rabbit hole until I find that the content becomes repetitive and then i'm like okay I guess thats it, time to move on

I think if you're just using it for general entertainment, then its hard to kick. I know there are plugins you can add to a chromium browser that will stop your watch time too, maybe that helps some people but really the answer is to shut down the device lol
