I am ashamed that I hadn’t reasoned this through given all the rubbish digital services have pulled with “purchases” being lies.

I'm the guy who coined this phrase on a Louis Rossmann video and I'm so proud!

I had no idea it would turn out to be such a big deal until my friend linked me a Lemmy post with my YouTube name in the picture. 🤣 Then I realized I had an absurd number of YouTube notifications! Interestingly enough, YouTube has some kind of interesting way to taper the notifications off so they aren't overwhelming.

I suppress all YouTube notifications. I only shitpost in comments anyway because that's what they are there for.
