I can totally see how this can derail your life. The algorithms are there to give you videos to keep you watching and the time can really fly by.
You mentioned going cold turkey, I think it's a good idea, but might be hard to implement as all or nothing approaches are prone to relapses.
You can use watchlimits.com if you are interested in setting limits for your watching, but still being able to watch some. For example youtube content is often useful in life, so it's good to have some access to it. Without a tool like this, just watching "one" helpful video could be cause a relapse to a whole evening watching.
