When I used to use YT, i used https://untrap.app/, it was a great improvement.

If you think you can't quit youtube, I used to think that way, and then i did it by deleting my account and using libredirect for invidious. my usage went to just a few minutes or 0 per day.

I'm not particularly religious but I did give up Twitter for lent as a test of my self control.

I highly recommend everyone occasionally do this with social media as it was somewhat eyeopening how much better I felt overall. This was mostly due to not being exposed to the doom scrolling you can eventually get pulled into (despite efforts not to).

I did miss feeling like I was "plugged in" to the stream of news/memes etc though.

YMMV but def recommend.

A nicer way that also works on mobile is turning the watch history off. C

Just stop paying for Pro. I made it less than one day with the ads.

Why don't you have an adblocker for your whole browser?

[addaon]

I do. I don’t have a browser for my television, though.

Makes sense. I wont name the ad-free modded youtube apps for android tv that take out ads.

I have quit most other social media, but yt is still there. I give this a try.

Good luck!
