I also suffer from a similar affliction regarding youtube. Oh, one
pretty video. Then there is the related videos scroll that pops up.
Oh, that looks interesting. And the next one. And the next one. And
each new video displays a new "related" tab showing more videos.
But you know

and going through the encyclopedia. ? It's just so much easier to have

too easy to just push the "ooh, that looks interesting" topic onto the stack
instead of just following it; by the time an hour is through, I can accumulate 20 tabs.
