It drastically reduces the occurence of me clicking another video.

If I want to see a video I have to read all titles and it gives me a chance to think if I want to stop watching.

An added bonus is that it takes me at least a couple seconds to find a video to watch when I open the front page and I don't end up subconsciously clicking the first interesting thumbnail.

PS: Also let me add that I'm using youtube signed off with no cookies in a browser that doesn't remember history so the front page is usually the same videos that I don't want to watch for a couple days or a week at a time.
