Unhook might be the most useful app on the internet right now.
It gives back something YT quietly stole:
freedom of choice and autonomous thinking.
No more lemming mode.

It lets you disable whatever YouTube junk around the video.
I keep only the video, channel info, comments, and search bar.
That’s it. The page is clean. Calm. Breathable.
No clickbait. No Shouting faces. No algorithmic nudging.
No “you watched this once so here’s 500 more”.

After my first video with Unhook, I caught myself thinking: And now?
That moment of emptiness says everything. I was trained to scroll, not to choose.
Same echo chambers, same recycled outrage, same time sink.
Ten minutes in, the familiar thought: Why did I even click this?

Now that reflex is gone.
If I want something, I have to decide. Deliberately.
It feels weird at first — like quitting smoking or sugar.
But it feels good.

Freedom always does.
