I need the perspective of others in this topic, as it's a difficult one for me.

I'm at a crossroads in my life. I have potential now to achieve everything I ever wanted. But Something is in my way. My reboot is going great, but I have hard decisions to make. The first of which being what to do with my other non-productive hobbies: video games and YouTube.

Yeah, I use them excessively, to the point t where I'm wasting my time. But a big part of me doesn't want to give these up too. It feels like my life would be stagnant then. I really need the perspective of others on this one so that I can make up my mind on how to approach this. If I quit, I'm treating them like PMO and will repel any urge. Besides educational YouTube, and music, I won't use these devices again.

Please let me know what you guys think.
 
I can tell from my experience:
Video games: For now cut them off, if in months you still want them, use them for less than 10 hours a week and mostly to play with other people. Also, be very aware of the game and your emotions etc. etc. than you can know what's right or not for you.
YouTube: Just unsubscribe from shitty YT channels and subscribe to good ones about philosophy, self improvement, shit like that. I did it, and I don't regret. I use YT for 3 hours a week and I rarely procrastinate on shitty videos.
 
All depends. I've been cutting back over the past few years. At the moment I don't believe video games and YouTube are good for me. If I do go back I'd like to limit each to something like a few hours a week. Right now it is not a good idea for me.
 
I've made up my mind. All in all, video games have been a negative in my life. Same with stupid YouTube videos. I am cutting them out permenantly.
 
find something that makes you happy ,I used to play video games but the price got so high on them I quit playing them I am cheap skate lol
 
Video games and youtube are both a waste of time. Just look for other fun activities you can replace them with. If you dont have any you will fall back into these bad habits because of boredom.

ps: Youtube can be useful if you use it for your personal growth instead of avoiding reality
