The ability to abstain from watching YouTube during flights as you must put your smartphone (and tablet) on flight mode whilst still being unable to abstain from watching YouTube outside flights.
Every time I board a plane, I experience serious Flight Mode FOMO, knowing I can't watch my favorite YouTube videos while still scrolling through my playlist for hours after landing.

I was bussin' with excitement when I saw the pfp of my friend’s glow up on my FYP. No cap, she’s been slaying lately, and I was like, "Yasss, that’s a major W!" But then, she texted me and said the party was a vibe check—the drip was on point, but the music was pure cringe. I was like, "Bruh, how is that even possible?" She said the DJ was simping for his ex, and the whole thing was just chuggy. I felt that FOMO hit hard, but I didn’t want to go because I didn’t wanna be the no way person in the corner. But I had to text her, "ILY, but I’m good." The whole thing seemed like a cursed situation. Fr, I wasn’t about to yeet myself into that chaos, so I just chilled at home. Fr fr, sometimes it’s better to stay in and save yourself from a L.

FOMO stands for "Fear Of Missing Out." It describes the anxiety or worry that you’re missing out on something exciting or interesting that others are experiencing. It’s often associated with social media, where people feel like they’re not part of the fun or important events happening around them. FOMO captures that feeling of wanting to be included and the unease that comes with thinking you’re missing out on valuable experiences.
