When using something like pinchflat, I give myself a week for most channels to auto-delete. Other educational accounts/playlist I store indefinitely, as things like MIT and many other university courses are open licensed making them legal to download and store.
It adds quite a bit of friction to my watching experience I slowed down a lot. To the point where I maybe watch ~3 hours of content/week. And I would have no shame in increasing that as I don't consume any other media, no podcasts, no tv, movies etc.
You can use uBlock origin to block google/youtube links so you can't accidentally watch things. You can add this to your My Filters list
