I also consume a lot of youtube content and after the first on-ramp became wary of just how much time I was spending with it.
Here's a solution that worked magic for me for controlling it: use adblock origin or another plugin to block the video thumbnails from loading on the landing page.
Ever since I've done this I've felt so much more in control of my youtube consumption.
I land on the homepage, I click on each individual subscription that has new content and decide whether I want to watch it now or later and typically that's it.
Sometimes I'll go, I wonder if someone has done an interesting piece on the latest F1 news and specifically search for that.
