I'm in the same boat.
I tried using pi-hole and nextdns but didn't worked for me because _I knew_ where to change back the settings, also, having multiple devices didn't help as well.
My current setup is a bit unconventional but has worked for me, in mac os there is an app called self-restrained, in windows there is an app called focal-filter that blocks websites that cannot be unblocked them after an X amount of time even if you reboot, I deleted the apps from my phone and now when I have the "urge" to watch a video I just do 10 push-ups.
You could also try to 1) "pause your youtube history", 2) unsubscribe from ALL your channels and 3) use an extension that removes everything from youtube (recommendations, history, etc).
Also, Ironically, I found a youtube video that helped me a bit more with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-moW9jvvMr4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-moW9jvvMr4
And the last one, I just worked on my will power and make a promise to myself to stop.
I wish you the best, Youtube is a really bad website when there is not enough self control.
