I use this browser extension called Unhook on YouTube when I need to get things done and it lets me block all recommended feeds while leaving subscriptions & search functional. It has really helped me not waste hours on rabbit holes when I don't want to
@[email protected] youtube has been a huge timesink for me, this extension might had saved me multiple times already
@Techaltar Piped.video / Invidious.io

@Techaltar can it also disable youtube seemingly auto-adding more videos when my queue is over despite auto-play being disabled?

I've been getting redirected to random videos that I have absolutely no interest in from channels I've never seen and it's been making a mess of the recommendations, which were barely accurate to begin with :\

@Techaltar I want someone to write a script to "Add to Queue" all the subscriptions for the past day or some duration so that I just hit play.
@Techaltar ooh, Don’t read the comments!✅
@Techaltar Awesome 👍🏾 thanks for sharing!
@Techaltar FreeTube works similarly. I have recommended videos and comments blocked, and it has SponsorBlock built in so it skips through sponsored segments.
@Techaltar I've used it for years! It's fantastic! Also check out "News Feed Eradicator"
@Techaltar I only use YouTube for creators who aren't yet on Nebula, but that still involves way too much YouTube. Thank you for sharing this extension, it's awesome.
@Techaltar This neat! Thanks for letting us know!
@Techaltar I often use distraction free youtube: https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/df-youtube however actually turning it on is often quite a challenge
