FocusTube: A Chrome extension that hides YouTube Shorts

“It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it. Life is long enough, and a sufficiently generous amount has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were all well invested. But when it is wasted in heedless luxury and spent on no good activity, we are forced at last by death’s final constraint to realize that it has passed away before we knew it was passing. So it is: we are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not ill-supplied but wasteful of it… Life is long if you know how to use it.”

― Seneca, On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long if You Know How to Use It

The heedless luxury and "no good activity" are some of the better parts of life.

Personally I live for the every day, I'm not worrying too much about what I will regret for a few hours on my last day(s) if I even make it there.

Then consider what you may regret for the last 10 years of your life, when your mobility, sight and hearing capabilities are all degraded either a lot or a little, and you look back and realize that you spent 3000 hours on youtube shorts.

If All my senses have been significantly degraded for the past 10 years I would probably regret not living in a country that allows assisted suicide.
