As you can tell by the comments and likes you've received, you are so not alone in this. Which is both a hugely comforting and saddening reality. However, we have to remember to cut ourselves some slack as these platforms have been designed to hold our attention. It sucks that it's up to us to try and have some semblance of balance in our lives, but this is just where we're at. Tools like this though are awesome and I really hope it helps you as much as it continues to help me everyday 🦋 I wish you all the best 😊

Same i am always watching KZbin non-stop. Every time I watch movies I pause the movie and continue watching KZbin either someone posted something and I need to watch it ASAP or I just get really bored of watching movies and get addicted to KZbin I use to play video games a lot before too. I kind of stopped playing them though. I try to get outside more and go to parks, the beaches and go explore instead of watching KZbin all the time.

​​​@@Kevinschart You don't actually learn as much as you think you do on youtube. Watching 10 minute videos is really the same as scrolling through Instagram. It's funny how we can remember films that are 1 hour long for months even years if it's a good one but easily forget a 10 minute youtube video we saw yesterday.

TLDR: - Open up about ur addiction to people you trust - don't be afraid to seek prof. help - my youtube addiction story so far (the long part) - how things are going rn For everyone speaking about their addiction: Don't be afraid to seek professional help. I was - and to some extent still am - in the same place you are. I used to watch 5-10 h/day over the past years (corona and lockdown made it worse). My sleep cycle completely shifted to the point that I got up past 4pm and stayed up till well beyond 5am, sometimes even 9 or 10 am. Things started to get somewhat better, as soon as I opened up to a few people I trust, and then started seeking help. One major assistance was to block internet access to all my devices after midnight till 8am on the router, changed the password to something random, wrote it down and gave the note to my roommate, so that I couldn't unblock Internet access. I will soon be admitted to inpatient therapy. But I am considering psychotherapy afterwards, because I strongly believe there's a deeper underlying cause for my addiction.

Usually when I watch videos like these or the talk of social media addiction comes up, they always talk about Instagram, Twitter, etc. They rarely or never talk about KZbin which is my biggest struggle. I've given up Instagram and other social medias easily, but KZbin is incredibly hard to give up. Thank you for making this video.

I just checked my average. *I watch KZbin for an average of 8 HOURS a day.* I didn't think of it as an addiction until now, because it just hit me that watching KZbin has stopped me from; Going to sleep at normal hours, watching my favourite movies/shows, playing video games, doing hobby crafts, homework, chores or even making meals sometimes. I even postpone going shopping to finish a video, *and it feels like I can't stop!* I'm awake at 06:30 because I was watching KZbin until 4... I struggle with getting to my classes on time because... I am addicted. What do I do now?

Hi I would recommend to do what I’m going to do for now it’s worked for me in the past. Just never watch KZbin again unless it’s for school or for work. But before using it look online for articles and stuff like that on the topic. Last Time it was a good permanent solution but most importantly don’t go back make a bet with your friends for a month and stick with it it really does work. tbh we don’t need KZbin as much as we think we do. Also listen to podcasts and music first instead since at first the silence is hard to bare.

I've been trying the extension you used in your video and it has really helped me stay more focused when doing work. You do feel a bit bored when nothing is being recommended but in that time it allows for the mind to be creative and to keep itself occupied, like doing my actual work or thinking of hobbies in the meantime, instead of watching another video that the algorithm recommends to me like I'm a lifeless zombie. Love these videos, keep up the amazing work, and inspiring others. :)

Although my brain has found a workaround that is to check the subscriptions panel for blue dots, it's still much better than before. Also, I like how you need to think every time you want to search to watch any content. Really empowers. Grateful for your video.

And has also switched on the history tracing so i get the recommendation according to my motive with those accounts and it is works quite fine.

I have known I had this problem for years and have been searching for solutions before. What I usually found was methods for changing perspective, understanding the problem and mind tricks like the 5 seconds rule. They had some uses, but this time I wanted to try something a bit more tangible, like the digital tool you´ve shown us. Thank you once again, I´m looking forward to seeing what kind of change this extension will bring.

Wow! Thanks for this! I have a HUGE problem with youtube. Mainly because of the pandemic I literally have nothing else to do. I'm kind of worried if I stop watching so much KZbin I'll just stare into the space all day😂 but I'll try out this extension and see what happens

Thank you, Lauren. I watched your video about youtube addiction. I am trying to stop my addiction. But it is very challenging bcz i am a Computer science student. I need some youtube to learn new things. I listen to podcasts. I just installed DF . I think I use YT as an emotional crutch. Like today, I had an unpleasant conversation with my elder brother. And the only way I was get away from pain was by watching youtube. I will like to hear your thoughts on it. Greetings from Germany.

Hey Hassan 😊 I also use KZbin as an emotional distraction; it is such an easy and effective escape. I do find reading (a novel) is a really great replacement for me, but sometimes, in those moments where I'm really struggling, I do think it's totally okay to have that escape. I really hope DF helps and I will always be on the search for healthier ways to use the platform (and others) and will be sure share!

First thing I noticed within minutes of installing, every time a video ends my eyes immediately go to that empty space where the recommended is supposed to be and sometimes I even scroll for a bit before remembering it's gone. I didn't realize it had gotten this bad.
