Log out of youtube. Algorithm cannot trap you the same way when it doesn't have data on you.
Actively search for video you wish to watch.
Use DuckDuckGo video player when watching video.
Problem solved.
Bonus info: keep tab open with channels you like to get updates from. Check them once in awhile for new uploads. When they don't upload and you have to wait, you will grow bored and find something else to do.
Personally, it has really helped me with my youtube addiction that I am logged out and use a video player that cuts me off entirely from algorithms, comments and ads.
