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.
After a week of being grounded without my phone, my AFK tolerance hit rock bottom; going to bed without catching up on my favorite YouTubers felt just as bad as sleeping on an empty stomach!

Get the AFKmug. AFK (different from the other common use, Away From Keyboard) stands for Armadillos are Fucking my Keyboard. It is commonly used as an exclamation of excitement, anger, sadness, or any other strong emotion. The term was coined in the wake of the 2000s by a group of small time hackers and petty criminals from the suburbs of Detroit, the Killsmiths. They would leave the abbreviation or fill phrase on the homescreen of a website after committing a cyber attack against it. The A and K are often switched out for a number of other terms, including but not limited to:
Angels, Anti-Gravity Clocks, Amish settlers, Anguished sailors, Killsmith, Krispy Kreme, Kremlin, Keytar, or others.
