[@Manvi-ot9ni]

I so relate to you on this one. I just found you account and I'm so thankful!! I'm a gap year student after my school is over, preparing for medschool and almost giving up on the plan of doing medicine because I cannot get any work done.. I feel like I've wasted all my time on this crap and I am addicted. I need youtube to study but I will not use it for anything else. I need to get work done.. I wont let this shit waste my life anymore!!

[@Martin_Leung]

good luck! Hope you find something else to spend time on besides youtube or you'll sometimes feel like you're missing out

[@Manvi-ot9ni]

@@Martin_Leung I have this extension that doesnt allow youtube to show recommendations, now when I open youtube, I have to think hard about what I want to watch 😅 although I still waste time here, It has gone down considerably. I'm trying to study as much these days, not that productive but I'm getting started!!

[@chinnudanturi9730]

@@Manvi-ot9ni How has it been?

[@rainydecember6784]

​@@Manvi-ot9niim a medical student wasted my whole year having upto 16 hours on youtube i want this extension so bad plz tell me how to download

[@zytpxx5311]

youtube addiction is a real thing lol, I find myself spending 8-10 hours on this site the algorithm is insane. Going to the gym definitely does help take some time off it lol

[@Martin_Leung]

that's crazy, but I've had that happen before too algos are actually lowkey dangerous

[@liana2136]

This is so helpful, thank you. There are particular channels I have been in the habit of watching. I think it's partly due to loneliness... I can pretend someone is present in the room, and it becomes hours of binge watching. Sad, I know. I need to make radical changes, and this video (and your earlier one on the same topic) helps a lot.

[@Martin_Leung]

good luck! I can relate to wanting to have something to listen to sometimes, I guess I wasn't that used to silence anymore

[@BuzZ.]

The endless scroll just doesn't seem to have an end to it

[@Martin_Leung]

absolutely true

[@Darknight526]

Drop your skin care routine my guy you're glowing. Thank you for the video buddy, and that YT challenge is definitely something to partake in.

[@Martin_Leung]

[@sjsjskad5234]

[@Bri-st2fg]

[@Martin_Leung]

[@newsupdate6773]

Very good report here with examples .

[@Martin_Leung]

thanks!

[@mrcherrytits]

Dude I'm totally addicted right now. Its ruining me

[@Martin_Leung]

oof keep trying dude --- it's hard to kick the habit if you continue to think a lot about it even if you're not using it

[@federicocampanale4477]

Such a great video, i'm struggling with yt addiction aswell, i'm trying to break it but it's gonna take time

[@Martin_Leung]

good luck!

[@amadeus7308]

[@WebOSDevelops]

[@eugenewong__]

[@Martin_Leung]

[@ahmadkarim1144]

Same, honestly i am really stopping youtube, and the time is going mostly to my class work

[@Martin_Leung]

good stuff, concentration is a super power these days

[@thechayanbiswas]

you know, the funny thing is that: I didn't click on the video, it auto-played on KZbin.

[@Martin_Leung]

haha the irony

[@quasi8180]

I never get enough sleep thanks a lot youtube

[@Martin_Leung]

Might need to give your personal electronics to your friends to hold onto for a few days (if you don't need it for work) and see how you feel without yt

[@kunstgestalter]

what can we doing by youttube addiction . then that is real

[@anothersomeone7008]

4:57am just from watching your other video. My attack plan is going cold turkey, unless learning something like python. Cold turkey worked for me with Instagram so going to try that with KZbin. Because I watch 99.9 percent of YT on my phone. If I am learning something I will try use the PC or second phone. Also, I will use the extension you recommended on PC. Will report back 🫡

[@Martin_Leung]

good luck, you got this
