I’m progressing my battle against my youtube addiction by blocking the page youtube.com/watch from ublock origin, no more watching youtube natively. Still can use invidious just less convenient so won’t overdo it as much
Blocking doesn’t work. I nonetheless tried that with other addictive stuff. Naturally unsuccessful.
Better way is to find a positive substitute action you do each time you feel the urge to open youtube.
Retrains your brain.
Every time I try I just become addicted to two things instead haha
Chance to get addicted to something useful at least!
Two of my substitute actions:
Doing a short lesson on Duolingo or standing up for a minute, juggling.
Addicted to juggling is just how it begins. Before too long, you turn into a mime.
Well, I first have to find a way out of this invisible, soundproof class cage somehow…
picking acne and munching on leftover Halloween candy… mmmm helth
This is a good idea! Something like this chrome extension maybe?
No, that’s just blocking with a twist.
Better do something that is not connected to the device you long to use, at all.
I kinda agree, but am severely YouTube addicted, am at 15000h already it’s crazy
