AFK-tolerant environment

AFK-tolerant environments are the environments where AFK moments are more normalized (read: occurring more common and feeling less painful). For example, K-12 school campuses require students to collect smartphones during school hours while those having excessive screen time per day will get an eye. This policy is akcually meant to create conducive learning environments, even though there are common misconception among gamers and YouTube addict that this policy is meant to "condition" students to inevitable AFK moments that are going to happen to them during the rest of their young lives, even after high school graduation.

The school’s strict smartphone policy created an AFK-tolerant environment, helping students adapt to being offline during class, despite some kids grumbling about missing their favorite YouTube channels.

AFK

Originally standing for "Absence From Keyboard", this term now standing for "Absence From sKreen" refers to the phenomenon where you feel missing out the latest YouTube videos whilst you've been unable to watch YouTube for extended periods of time. Similarly, going to bed whilst having not watched YouTube during the day is as unpleasant as going to bed whilst being hungry. This phenomenon is more commonly experienced by persons who have subscribed to lots of YouTube channels in a row (i.e. 600+ channels) compared to those who subscribe to few to no YouTube channels.

I thought I could take a short break from YouTube videos, but now I'm hit with serious AFK vibes—I've missed out on countless of new YouTube videos while I was away from YouTube!

reverse afk

When a game is, usually, so good that it glues you to it for way longer than it should. Usually written as KFA.

"The new game in the series is coming out next week, so I'll probably reverse afk"

"Wait, you're still grinding the thing?"
"I'm KFA'ing it, I'll be done soon"

"Rank reset is tomorrow, wanna duo and KFA?"

AFK

"AFK" means Away From Keyboard. Away From the Keyboard means you will not be playing/working on the moment. It's a different way of saying you're going somewhere for a few minutes.

I am going to be afk.

Afk shift

(Excluding lunch, washroom breaks or sleep) the amount of time you spend as an afk chatter

If you say something like gtg and brb to your mates in a chat room, and you go off to help your parents, this may be the beginning of your longish afk shift.
