Youtube on My Terms
I enjoy watching videos online, but I am highly susceptable to falling victim to YouTube's algorithms. I'm making this page to attempt to circumvent this issue. I'm including links to channels I enjoy so I can access them directly and not get sidetracked and sucked in. I'd like to someday build an ability to engage with content hosted on YouTube directly through this page and be able to never set foot there again, but I also just learned how to do a marquee so we are unlikely to get there anytime soon.
Steps
- Decide what will happen after the video time.
- If computer time ends, minimize or close all other apps/tabs
- If another task starts, open the required apps/tabs for that task
- Input the watch time into the timer
- Select a channel or shorts feed from below
- Repeat Step 3 until the timer rings (note: You may want to close out early so a video isn't interrupted)
- Close all video tabs and either shut the computer or switch to the next task
