I've blocked myself out of YouTube with ColdTurkey. If I want to watch a video, I have to find it on Google Search, copy the link, paste the link into a website that generates a link to an embedded Video, and watch it there.
Clumsy as it gets, but that's how I like it. I can still watch stuff if I really want, but there are almost no recommendations and it's so cumbersome that I won't overdo it.
I've tried total abstinence. It wasn't sustainable for me, sadly.
