I used to be addicted to YouTube mainly because their recommendation engine is so advanced and precise. I would often find myself clicking through "recommended" videos and before I knew it hours would pass.Â
Then thanks to this community, I found a Google Chrome extension called Rabbit Hole for YouTube which basically solves this issue for me.Â

My productivity since has skyrocketed and I am able to use YouTube without getting pulled into the abyss by its recommendation engine. Â
I hope this helps someone here.
