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

    I was in the same spot as you when using the official youtube app on a tablet. I enjoyed watching but it was hard to control it and easy to waste a lot of time. Things got way healthier when not using the official app. I still watch youtube but I use NewPipe on android, there are options to disable a lot of distraction. Deleting the app and stay logged out when visiting youtube was the only thing that really helped.
