YouTube is the greatest library ever built, but it’s also a digital slot machine. One minute you’re searching for a tutorial on “How to use Pivot Tables,” and an hour later, you’re watching a deep dive into the history of competitive marble racing.
The algorithm is designed to keep you in the Autoplay Rabbit Hole, a state of passive consumption where you feel like you’re learning, but you’re actually just spectating. To turn YouTube into a tool for active growth, you have to “break” the machine.
This video tells you just how to do that.
YouTube is either the best or worst thing for your brain, depending on who is in the driver’s seat. By disabling autoplay, using the “Watch Later” buffer, and curating your own playlists, you stop being a consumer and start being a student.
Today’s Challenge: Go to your YouTube settings and turn off Autoplay. Then, clear out your “Watch Later” list of anything that doesn’t serve your current goals. Reclaim your curriculum.
