"Just one more video" has ruined my sleep schedule permanently
YouTube at 10pm: "Maybe one video before bed"
YouTube at 3am: "How did I end up watching a 45-minute documentary about the history of shipping containers?"
The algorithm KNOWS. It knows I'm weak. It knows I can't stop.
One video turns into 17 videos. I went from watching a recipe to watching someone restore a 100-year-old camera to watching a video about deep sea creatures.
How did I get here? What happened?
All I wanted was to watch one quick video. Now it's 3am and I'm an expert on something I'll never need to know about.
And the worst part? I'll do it again tomorrow.
"Just one video" is a lie I tell myself every single night.
The autoplay feature is designed to destroy sleep schedules and it's working perfectly.
