I’m progressing my battle against my youtube addiction by blocking the page youtube.com/watch from ublock origin, no more watching youtube natively. Still can use invidious just less convenient so won’t overdo it as much

Blocking doesn’t work. I nonetheless tried that with other addictive stuff. Naturally unsuccessful.
Better way is to find a positive substitute action you do each time you feel the urge to open youtube.
Retrains your brain.Every time I try I just become addicted to two things instead haha
Chance to get addicted to something useful at least!
Two of my substitute actions:
Doing a short lesson on Duolingo or standing up for a minute, juggling.Addicted to juggling is just how it begins. Before too long, you turn into a mime.
Grayjay / Newpipe+Pipeline also do a very good job for me if you prefer apps
