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!
