> I wonder what not using YouTube anymore will turn me into... An yt-dlp user I figure.

  I'd give your guess an approximate 95% chance to become true, yes. As I've actually used it in the past and almost started using it as my main way to watch YT. but the convenience of just opening the YT app on my phone while commuting and just instantly watching what i want is quite nice. at least for now. That being said I could back to using YouTube Vanced + SponsorBlock on my Android phone, the part which is the hardest to circumvent is my Smart TV. Haven't found a way to sneak past ads there, without paying.

      based on my reaction to your comment i might be addicted to it... but that would generally be a good idea.

        The way I got out was to stop using the recommendation page and the subscription feed first - if I can't remember the channel exists I probably won't miss watching it. (also your friends will remind you of some channels by sending you the video link and trying to discuss it) I used ublock origin to block all images from youtube so I have to read the title instead of getting baited by a flashy thumbnail. About 5 years later and I barely watch any video that isn't sent to me.
