For youtube specifically, I found this great snippet for ublock origin. It removes (almost) all recommendations in youtube, which makes it much easier to quit after just one video:

www.youtube.com###secondary

www.youtube.com##ytd-browse[page-subtype="home"] #primary

www.youtube.com##.ytp-show-tiles.ytp-endscreen-paginate.videowall-endscreen.ytp-player-content.html5-endscreen

The firefox/chrome extension Unhook provides these features as well, and gives you fine-grained controls over most of the addictive features on YouTube.


Second this. Even if you don't remove the other features, removing the comments alone is a godsend.
