I have a habit of getting on my computer playing a game for a couple, watch Youtube for an hour. an then the cycle continues. I need help with this problem since I have so many games and I get no enjoyment out of watching Youtube but I do it regardless.

Get a second monitor and have your video playing there instead.

Man, if you find an answer, Let me know.

I gave my nephew my Steam account with 1,045 games since he didn't have one, I created this one for me instead.

He watches people play games on YouTube instead.

Depends upon the game being played.
If all you ever play is gachimuchi allstars then you may get bored and want to checkout some Herrington or Darkholme vids. It happens.

Unless someone is paying you to play the games in your library then feel free to play or not play them.

That's hardly the same situation. Not watching youtube is as easy as closing a tab.

Not if you're so used to it, hard to break old habits.

I feel its like a younger person thing....possibly a generational thing......

From not playing games at all to playing games to playing games more casually to watching others play games

If being homeless and hungry were self-inflicted, then yes, that's what you do.
