>54 tabs of youtube videos open that I really need to watch

it's over

delete it all and start again

its like when people wait till the "new year" to make a resolution. they never stick to it.
it's because, if the thing was actually meaningful to you. you would be doing it, this week, not needing a resolution for it.

same principle with your videos, if they were worth watching for you, as you need them, the would've already been watched by you.
this is all to say, do what this anon says >>106621073

make a list of all the urls, feed that list to yt-dlp now you can save those videos to disk where you wont watch them either its all slop anyway have you seen what it takes to monetize videos? its the reason its enshitified

use vivaldi, it has tab workspaces
i currently have 15 workspaces with around 200+tabs total of shit i need to read, and i'm actually actively trying to keep it down
vivaldi also has a reading list feature where i put less important shit i need to read, and it's currently ~300 links

so yeah, be happy for where you are
>>
Browsers should have an option to drop all the tabs into a bookmarks folder with one click, it should only ask you for the folder name

youre starting and not finishing a bunch of probably really insane looking projects with matching insane code. that shit just makes you think anything is a good idea. you could be renaming variables for 7 hours or doing some asinine pseudocode planning with no scrutiny, and youd never get discouraged or pause and look at what youre doing with a critical and frustrated eye. youd just be like "oh yeah this is fine. thats also fine. and even like that, thats fine too. yeah even if we redo all of this and that it's still good and fine and great. everything is great." and it's not great. it's irredeemable shit.

>youtube videos that I really need to watch
These don't exist.
>>
>>106622538
For personal projects: true but if it works it works.
For work: True in the beginning but I basically work completely self organized until I'm finished, so I probably redo everything from scratch like 2-3 times until it's clean and maintainable. I also make sure to docu the fuck out of my junkie code if anyone needs to touch it. The C level execs love me a lot personally since I get shit done better and quicker
>>
why would you watch youtube videos in the first place? don't you have better things to do, like actually making something?
>>
>>106621069
Close one by one untill its just 10 youtube videos.
Watch those 10 youtube videos.
Done.

maybe write each videomaker - title to paper then close 53 tabs

You think that's bad? I actually finished watching everything I've been casually interested in. And I'm talking thousands of channels. I have them neatly organized in a database. I still have a ton of tech videos to go through, but in terms of general video essays I think I'm such an extreme nolifer that I've beaten YouTube. I've had it on in the background for 14 hours a day or so for over a decade.
>>
>>106623197
Also, there's the question of whether I'm better off for having watched/listened to all that. And the answer is probably not. It's a ton of interesting knowledge, but not particularly useful.

Do you really??
>>
>>106621069
I have over 300 youtube tabs. 6186 tabs in total.
>>
>>106621069
I used to never have more than 5 tabs unless I was reading a lot of documentation, but since vertical tabs in Firefox I average 20+.
>>
>>106623242
My only issue of the sort is related to my gaming backlog. It has around 1500 titles in it. But I keep it in a bookmark folder. And I still won't find the time to tackle it any time soon.
>>
>>106623242
I've got around 14k bookmarks so I guess I'm not all that different. But many of them are for a project that requires me to bookmark many individual pages, so maybe I'm not that worse off. Still, the idea that I keep bookmarking stuff to check out later and then never return to it keeps me up at night.

Anything more than 30 tabs and you're mentally ill, and probably have untreated gender dysmorphia

What's Vivaldi like? been considering ditching chrome for a while now
>>
>>106627349
Vivaldi is Chromium so you'll get used to it fast. There's no reason to use Chrome when there are plenty of Chromium forks that do it better, including Vivaldi. If you're going to main a Chromium fork, you should keep Firefox (or a fork of it) as a backup. I like to do it the other way around and have Vivaldi and Brave as backups.

god damn chill nigger, I just published a game on steam and am catching up on youtube videos

it's a browser tech problem really, if tabs were never created this problem wouldn't exist

I've often felt the same way. New years resolutions are just normies collectively agreeing on a specific time where they can all pretend they're virtuous and disciplined and no one is allowed to publicly call out their known lie.

I have a step sibling who has been morbidly obese for 20 years and you can guess what her new years resolution has been for over 20 years now.
>>
>>106621069
I hate it too
when I used to watch youtube on my TV I could watch a whole video maybe there was 1-2 ads I could tolerate that
It's become totally unusable now and they shove ads in every single minute
so now it's back to using my computer and it's ended up how it always does watch 2 minutes of one vid pause go to another pause go to another have 50 paused video tabs open nothing ever finished
>>
>>106622678

>>106621069

i didnt even know you could max out watch later
>>
>>106621283
Long term vs short term
retard
also probably a zoomer yourself, because nobody complained about people having lots of open tabs 15 years ago
>>
why the fuck are you retards still even watching YT at this point? it's 99.9% slop and the videos that aren't will NOT be served to you by the algorithm.

instead of using shitty yt frontend, try this workflow:

>search about topic that's relevant in your search engine and NOT YT.
>pro tip: use operators to filter search to find non-big-tech shit
>copy link
>use mkdir to make a directory
>use yt-dlp to download video
>watch with mpv or vlc
>save it locally on your computer and not on your browser
>prune unfinished and watched videos regularly

there, now you don't have a youtube addiction. you're welcome.

If you "needed" to watch those, you'd have already started and, unless you already finished, probs be watching rn.
>>
>>106621069
(Not a counselor here) I'd just ask myself what use a given video will do for me in the next week or so, how would it improve my life?

>If you "needed" to watch those, you'd have already started
Eh, I can see scrolling past 20+ minute videos that would be good to watch on a different day.

Ublock origin to block all YouTube ads

Sponsorblock to block all sponsor sections, interaction reminders, self promotion, self promotion and filler sections in YouTube videos (cuts out 20 - 50 % of a video)

Video speed controller to watch every video at custom speeds, if you increase increments by 0.1 over time you can train yourself to watch and understand videos at 4x or higher speed.

I watch about 6 hours of YouTube content a day in about 1 hour of actual time.
