idk. Not trying to take a side here, but fwiw, my experience is... my life, cognition, and mental health all improved when I voluntarily blocked yt. I really only need it for instructional "how to fix this thing" sorts of vids.

There's a whole parallel world out there that I couldn't have discovered if I was still spending time on yt. kinda weird to think about.

@Half_Elf_Monk I usually use it for music, instructions, background noise, and if I'm waiting for something a small bit of entertainment.
