"Come at me bro". If YouTube helped me watch less YouTube that would be good too.

this. i’m addicted to youtube. if they make me pay that might be enough friction to get me to not use it.

i’d probably switch to tiktok or something tho

Try Unhook, it's a Firefox extension that allows you to turn off all the Youtube engagement features. Works wonders.

Yeah, I've got a bookshelf full of books to re-read, from 'A Theory of Justice' to '1Q84' and much besides.

I only end up watching something on youtube myself manually if I found it literally absolutely impossible to find an article elsewhere on the subject.

Now passive media consumption, my husband does all of that for us... we have a bunch of youtubers he puts on for us on Apple TV, but I would never type in youtube.com myself and browse around.
