I gotta thank the comments for cluing me in, I'm too dumb to figure out on my own

I imagine it's like most YouTube updates (if not all) that are rolled out partially to different users through different areas.

Nah, because no alternative can be a complete replacement and if it's not the exact same experience, people aren't willing to put that tiniest bit of effort.

Again, look at Reddit as an example, alternatives exist, yet none of them are the exact same because there's not a comparable size, and because of that people will just pull down their pants and begrudgingly accept reddit's problems.

You start getting prepared for boning and your partner asks you to go lock the door before you start so you do the walk of shame

And they're not losing us any time soon, for years I've seen people saying that YouTube is going down because they do shit the users don't like and yet everyone keeps using them and in general making no effort in changing that.

It's just like Reddit, a few of us left but that didn't change anything, everyone's still using it and they're not stopping any time soon.

Even if not abandoning the platform, it would only take a decent portion of the users reducing their use of the platform for them to feel a punishment of some sort, but nobody's really willing to do anything other than complain and automatically dismiss any suggestion of an alternative.

And does Linux ever do that? "wellllll yeah sometimes it can but only if you're using it wrong."

Linux community is like the dark souls of computers

Eh, you only notice it when it's bad, most of the time for most users it's okay, though I generally argue they just make an unconscious decision to ignore most issues, even before trying out Linux I was flabbergasted at how people literally lose time and get flustered at a problem but then refuse to accept it as such.

Sounds realistic imo

I don't know about energy (I feel like you must be right about that), but when I made research on smoking for school, I remember that pretty much all of the positive feelings were (according to what research suggested) just the attenuation of the effects it created in the first place.

I also remember that those negative effects could last very long to the point an ex smoker could feel some of them for weeks, even longer if we count psychological effects and not just physical. Haven't brushed up on the topic on at least a decade so I could be wrong, but I'm biased towards it being the most heinous thing because I really hate smoking.

Took me a few seconds but honestly I'm surprised I got that so quickly lmao.

I almost scrolled through without liking it, rlly sad

Need to look behind before walking backwards, just to make sure you're not going to bump into someone else.
