Yes, I have shaken my YouTube addiction this way. It naturally makes YouTube less appealing. It also lengthens the habit-forming action->random outcome cycle by 20 or more seconds with pre-roll ads. Enabling ads on YouTube is the opposite of autoplay in terms of addiction.
- gundmc 4y agoAds on YouTube haven't been inconvenient enough to deter me yet. Minor annoyance, but if the ads are longer than 15 seconds I can skip. Twitch on the other hand? If I'm watching on mobile I'll regularly get 90 seconds or more of unskipable ads every 10 minutes. Most of the time this makes me close the app and overall has torpedoed my watch time.
