A phenomenon where someone subscribes to insanely large numbers of YouTube channels (i.e. 600+ channels) that causes him to be either more addicted to YouTube or b) inundated with zillions of YouTube video recommendations he doesn't have time to watch.
After hitting 700 subscriptions, I realized my oversubscription was out of control—I can barely keep up with the endless stream of videos!

A controversial full-service restaurant where tipping more money to the waiter means that your stomach can hold more food—even when it actually only means that you know/suspect/are aware that the waiter ought to have higher wages and nothing else. This is similar to how the YouTube algorithm interprets subscribing to more channels as having more time to watch videos.
Navigating YouTube is like dining at a full-service restaurant where every tip just makes the waiter richer, but somehow I end up feeling like I’ve ordered a buffet I can’t finish.
