Even Google knows its products are addictive. As part of its efforts to promote a digital wellbeing, Google has decided it will show you the amount of time you spend binge-watching on YouTube.

In its blog titled 'Tools to Take Charge of Your Digital Wellbeing', Google announced a new tool which will be accessible to its YouTube users. The personal time watched profile will show you how long you have watched YouTube videos today, yesterday, and over the past 7 days.
