Anyone can look at my youtube and know exactly what my current fixation is. It's also annoying and makes it really hard to pull myself out of it. It's like a hyperfixation amplifier.

Yeah this happens to me a lot.

If you don't want to get sucked into Youtube anymore then I recommend Unhook. It's a firefox and Chrome (i think) extension which let's you disable video recommendations in any form and redirects you from the start or trending page to your sub feed. So you only ever see videos you subscribed to if you want that. It's highly customizable too.

I combine this with hiding all shorts. That way I am more on control of how long I'll be on YouTube which is nice.

We have algorithm-destroying superpowers. Targeted ads? Hah, that was last month's hyperfixation, too late suckers!!

But yeah it's a bit more annoying with YouTube.

Thankfully you can stop it. Go to your watch history and remove videos that are messing up your recommendations.

BUT THERE'S HUNDREDS. It is apparently who I am now. 🤷‍♂️ I now am nothing but a 3d printing enthusiast.
