The limits can be ignored, so show some self-control.

Or just add this to uBlock and never see them again.

I would rather a toggle that permanently disables the button on the bottom so it’s never ever possible to click ever again.

I use the unhook plugin . It’s a quick fix that enables you to able or disable youtube features. I use it because of that, due people still will send you shorts, and well, I can’t say them “stop sending me that shit”, I c-can’t say that to my wife, you know?

I don’t even get why people are addicted to them. I watch at most 5 a day. And most days 0. I guess that’s the advantage of desktop, the controls aren’t dumbed down to just flicking my finger across the screen.
