Some great advice here, probably repeating others a bit but stuff that works for me:
For YouTube stuff I'd recommend an alternative front end like freetube. Much less in your face with throwing vids at you, plus no ads!
Just wanna add I've REALLY struggled with YouTube and found success with Firefox add-ons. One is called "unhook" which has a range of features, but namely it disables the front page and the side recommendations that keep you infini-clicking through more videos! (All of this is toggleable as well, in case you want to go on an algorithm odyssey for a bit.)
The other one is "clickbait blocker" I think it's called. It replaces the video thumbnails with a frame from the middle of the video.
I swear both of these have seriously given me SO MUCH time back. YouTube opens to a main totally blank page now so I can go straight to my music playlists without getting mentally-hijacked, or search specific Blender tutorials or something without infinite recommendations. It's awesome!!
