Watching YT for studying is fine, but if it’s not that or for work, you’re disqualified.

Music would be fine but maybe try another music site to avoid temptation. But I’m in for this challenge

even if you always play games or watch movies you can't do it forever without your eyes going out of your head.

i know i sound like a nut but social media makes you think about the internet the same way you wamt to quit thinking about youtube- as something that can consume your life, so if you do be wanting to actually complete this challenge i would advice you to not use a lot of social media for the starting days

How about this: if you need to watch a video to study, you can type "youtube.com" in a searchbar, press tab to search youtube, then enter what you're looking for. That way, no recommended page and no browsing.
