YouTube productivity extension - getting validation on Twitter

Just posted about YouTube productivity black holes on X/Twitter and getting great engagement.

One user shared they turn off YouTube history to block distractions, but it breaks YouTube Music recommendations. This perfectly illustrates the problem - current solutions are all-or-nothing.

What we need: Granular controls
✅ Keep: Music history, subscriptions, useful features
❌ Block: Shorts, homepage feed, sidebar distractions

Building a Chrome extension for this. Questions:

1. What YouTube features would you want to keep vs block?
2. Have you tried workarounds that had annoying side effects?
3. Would you pay $3-5/month for granular YouTube control?

Looking for honest feedback on demand for this!
