Cannot Stay Off YouTube
Stop the autoplay rabbit hole that eats your hours.
The Problem
You went to YouTube for one tutorial and three hours later you are watching conspiracy docs and cake decorating. Autoplay is engineered to keep you, and the "just one more" loop quietly consumes your evening.
Strategies to Overcome It
- 1Disable autoplay so videos do not chain automatically.
- 2Use the "watch later" list and close after the one video.
- 3Set a timer before opening YouTube.
- 4Unsubscribe from channels that pull you sideways.
- 5Use an extension that forces a stop after your limit.
Your 2-Minute Action
Turn off autoplay right now in settings, then open only the one video you need and close the tab when it ends.
