I mean, there is always the option of putting down YouTube and going outside, or picking up a hobby or something.

Gross, I know, having to live in the stone ages, but there's always another option.

In a really twisted way, Youtube is a fairly big reason why a good number of people go outside, take up hobbies, etc.

You’re talking as if watching content on YouTube wasn’t a hobby like going to the cinema or theater.
