Lytesnap reverses YouTube's recommendation engine — by training it toward content you hate. Remove the reward that keeps you hooked.

Every scroll is a lever pull. Occasionally it rewards you. That's all it takes. YouTube's algorithm runs the same mechanism BF Skinner used on rats — and it works just as well on people.
You don't know what the next video will be — and occasionally it's great. That unpredictable hit of satisfaction is what keeps you pulling the lever.
Watching content you chose deliberately is not addiction. Watching what the algorithm served you passively — that's the loop.
Every passive watch trains the algorithm to serve more of the same. The loop tightens. Escaping gets harder the longer you wait.
Lytesnap uses the same mechanism YouTube uses against you — and turns it around. Automated sessions train the algorithm toward what you deliberately choose.
In Unaddict mode, choose the topics you hate — the content the algorithm keeps serving you that you want to escape.
Lytesnap runs a real browser session, deliberately watching and searching that content — on your terms, not the algorithm's.
When the feed is full of content you deliberately hate, there's nothing to reward you with. The algorithm pulls the lever — but every slot comes up blank.
A before/after feed score shows exactly how much the algorithm has moved in 7 days.
A 7-day phased schedule runs automatically in the background — no babysitting required.
Heavy-signal sessions flood the algorithm with your chosen topic. Sessions run every ~3 hours with a random delay to look organic.
Lighter daily sessions reinforce the signal and catch any algorithm drift before it takes hold.
The schedule stops automatically. Check your before/after feed score to see the difference. Reset anytime.
Unaddict mode: deliberately pick topics you hate. Flooding the feed with them removes the reward entirely — the algorithm keeps pulling the lever, but there's nothing left to give you.
Enjoy mode: pick topics you genuinely love. Train the algorithm toward content you consciously chose to want more of.
