AFK tolerance is the ability to withstand AFK moments, i.e. the inability to watch YouTube for extended periods of time. Only once you have low AFC tolerance levels will going to bed whilst having not watched YouTube during the day, feel as unpleasant as going to bed whilst being hungry. Persons who have subscribed to lots of YouTube channels in a row (i.e. 600+ channels), generally have worse AFK tolerance levels compared to those who subscribe to few to no YouTube channels.
