My YouTube use definitely isn't healthy, but it's still the only social app that asks me to take a break if I use it too long or late at night. That should be standard in any of these apps.

I get those on TikTok. There’s a video of someone asking if you’ve been scrolling/watching for too long and recommending to take a break

Does it recommend taking a break? Mostly I've seen it ask if I'm still watching. I've always assumed this is not for user benefit, but in order to not spend bandwidth on a screen that is not being looked at.

The only site I'm familiar with that has somewhat decent self-limiting functions built in is HN's no procrastination settings. But that's of course because HN isn't run to make money, but as a hobby.

Earthbound even did this on the SNES back in 1994

What country are you in? I have never seen this in the US although I have been a very long time subscriber to YouTube Premium.

		I get it too, in France. You can disable it in the settings.
