i basically waste my entire day watching youtube on my chromecast and im tired of it 😭 don’t get me wrong, i LOVE youtube and i don’t want to quit entirely, i just want to not waste my entire day watching youtube. It mostly starts in the morning when i eat breakfast where it kinda snowballs from there, or in the afternoon when i get home and basically watch the rest of the day. Also, im watching on a tv, specifically a chromecast

thanks

    add more friction! had the same problem with YouTube on my phone, which is why I have uninstalled the app. Now I do not have the problem anymore! :)) The only way to watch now is through an anonymous invidious instance (cause they made the mobile website too annoying for me to use) where I have to search for the video I want to watch, which adds a lot more intent to it.

      i guess ive added a bit of friction??? i use an app (on my tv) called smarttube and in smarttube you can turn of the homepage which i did

      it did help a little bit but its far from fixed
