YouTube is now one of the most distracting platform on the
internet, due to its large amount of content that is uploaded
on a regular basis and also because it is easier to use than,
say, read articles on Medium. We can go there to watch
something, but there can be many comments, or recommended
videos on the side that take up a lot of our attention and our
time. We may not even be aware and simply go and open another
video in a new tab, which can lead to two or three other
related videos opened. This downward spiral wastes our time
and energy and as a result, we are not inspired to work and
work on our projects, or dedicate our efforts on important
things.
Here is a Chrome extension that can help with that: This
extension hides recommendations, comments (and live chats) and
trending/subscriptions pages on the side which can also be
very distracting. You may prefer to subscribe to many YouTube
channels, but may not be able to control yourself from not
watching so much unneeded content which you do as an escape
route from a particular problem in which you got stuck.
YouTube Rabbit Hole comes with the following features:
– Replace suggested content with cute bunnies
– Hide
comments (including livestream chats)
– Disable the
trending and subscriptions pages
– Simplify the
navigation drawer
– Disabling the wall of suggestions
following a video
– Hiding banner-style ads to maintain a
clean and distraction free environment
These options are
also very customizable, thus giving you the opportunity to
prepare it as you want.
