Unfortunately, the period without youtube was shortlived. While I made great progress the first day, I was not able to stay clear of youtube.
To improve my odds for next time, I decided to solidify my decision, by removing all my subscriptions. Also, I disabled watch history, so the algorithm makes worse recommendations, as it cannot learn from your watch history.
Right now it is holiday time, so I will come back at the end of the holiday to start a new streak.
