YouTube ads are getting longer, more frequent, and more often unskippable. I am already watching LESS YouTube as a result. Sometimes an ad comes up and I think, "nah, I don't care enough about this video," and I leave.
I am the one who told
@suuuoppp
that her PC needed more RAM, when attempting to help her with Premiere, which was running very slowly. That, I can corroborate. (1/2)
I did not personally witness the other things she describes. But, she privately told me some of them a few days after quitting, and of those, her story has not changed. (2/2)
Me: "Do you guys have empty boxes?" Home Depot guy: "Yeah, I saw your video. Isle 36."

*I pull a Madrinas coffee can out of my back pocket and hand it to him.*
Me: "Yeah, what's up?"
Him: "wha... I was going to ask you where to get a Madrinas ..."
Me: *finger guns, walks away.*

"Remove from oven. Let cool for 2-3 minutes."
Nope. This is pizza going straight into my mouth. I'll burn my tongue, have no regrets, and do it again next time.
Mom: You could use the case from my old system!
Me: Ugh, no.
Mom: What? A case is a case.
