YouTube will tell you when you’re watching too much YouTube
Google has added a feature to the Android app which lets you tell the app to notify you if you’re on there for too much.
Now, the YouTube app will alert you if you’re binging too much. You can schedule it manually at any time between 15 minutes and 3 hours.
The fact that this feature isn’t turned on by default diminishes it somewhat, on the other hand, people who need t be told to stop watching YouTube aren’t the type of people who’ll listen to such warnings so your mileage may vary on how you find this change.
Google had previously designed YouTube to be addictive, adding autoplay video, including a scrolling playlist of similar videos just so users would spend that extra minute on its video service. Arguably, this is a Frankensteinian monster of its own making.
The feature is only available on the mobile app, but will likely spread to the web-app in the coming weeks.

I see this and I think of a law suit that was waiting to happen.
"YouTube ruined my life because I just watched it all day, and there was no warning"
Just like a lady sued McDonalds over her coffee being hot. because they didn't warn her.
Or a guy who put his RV on autopilot and thought it would drive itself(Years and years before auto drivng car was a thing). Because there was no warning in the manual. (BTW, he won that law suit.)
