Doing this allows you to actually free yourself from planned distractions of certain websites, which is designed to pull in as much as attention as possible

I use Unhook for Youtube :D there are many extensions for Chrome and Firefox meant to clean out recomendations

    For iOS users: install AdGuard and go through the steps to make it run on Safari. Then delete the YouTube app and replace it with a shortcut to the website. No ads. You do sometimes have to manually update the filters.

      Thank you so much for sharing this. I never knew it existed.

      I installed it, made sure the settings were all correct, and then opened YouTube in safari to test it.

      It certainly worked, but I somehow got caught going down a 1 hour rabbit hole of The Beatles’ studio tricks.

      🤣

      But at least there were no ads
