I agree with you on all fronts. This issue isn't just with YouTube the numbing down of the mind via digital stimulation has taken a toll on a lot of people. I myself am struggling with the same. I can relate to how easy it is to slip back to the old ritual of consuming endless hours of video content which doesn't even make you feel good.
I thing the key is to consume in moderation. Just like we take care of our body by exercising and limiting junk food, we need to meditate and be aware of our digital media consumption. Someone people don't have this problem but like you and me there are people who are struggling with this problem.
